Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hazlitts, 1912, Vol. 2: Part the Second; A Narrative of the Later Fortunes of the Family, With a Survey of the Western and Other Suburbs of London as They Were Sixty Years Since
The paucity of correspondence is not apparently attributable to the destruction of letters, since the most trivial scraps have been religiously preserved by their recipients, except in the case, perhaps, of Lamb, who kept next to nothing after perusal. This shortcoming, which to a biographer is always a serious drawback, arose from the simple fact that Hazlitt was not a letter-writer.
