Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Autobiography of Leigh Hunt, Vol. 1 of 3: With Reminiscences of Friends and Contemporaries
Before the reader looks any further into these volumes, I would entreat him to bear in mind two things.
And I say entreat, and put those two words in italics, not in order to give emphasis to the truth (for truth is, or ought to be, its own emphasis) but to show him how anxious I am on the points, and to impress them the more strongly on his attention.
The first is, that the work, whatever amusement he may find in it (and I hope, for the publishers' sake, as well as my own, that it is not destitute of amuse ment) was commenced under circumstances which committed me to its execution, and would have been abandoned at almost every step, had those circum stances allowed.
