This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Table-Talk Original Essays on Men and Manners, Edited by His Son, Vol. 1 The present Volume contains, in addition to matter published in the former editions of 'Table Talk, ' an Essay, now for the first time printed, and another now for the first time collected. The former, the Essay 'On Travelling Abroad, ' I found amongst other manuscripts of my father's, most of them merely the copy whence 'Table Talk' and other works of his were printed, and I at first concluded that this also had been used. A diligent search, however not merely through all the collected volumes of his works, but through all the various publications to which he contributed, regularly or occasionally, in which search I have been aided by the keen eye of my friend Mr Raymond Yates, whose earnest devotion to the author has rendered this and other cooperation, for which I stand indebted to him, truly a labour of love, I have no hesitation in announcing the Essay in question to be entirely new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Round Table: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men, and Manners The following work falls somewhat short of its title and original intention. It was proposed by my friend Mr. Hunt to publish a series of papers in the 'Examiner, ' in the manner of the early periodical essayists, the 'Spectator' and 'Tatler.' These papers were to be contributed by various persons on a variety of subjects; and Mr. Hunt, as the editor, was to take the characteristic or dramatic part of the work upon himself. I undertook to furnish occasional essays and criticisms; one or two other friends promised their assistance; but the essence of the work was to be miscellaneous. The next thing was to fix upon a title for it. After much doubtful consultation, that of 'The Round Table' was agreed upon as most descriptive of its nature and design. But our plan had been no sooner arranged and entered upon than Bonaparte landed at Frejus, et voila la Table Ronde dissoute. Our little congress was broken up as well as the great one; politics called off the attention of the editor from the belles lettres, and the task of continuing the work fell chiefly upon the person who was least able to give life and spirit to the original design.

This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table Talk Essays on Men and Manners by William Hazlitt ESSAY I. ON THE PLEASURE OF PAINTING 'There is a pleasure in painting which none but painters know.' In writing, you have to contend with the world; in painting, you have only to carry on a friendly strife with Nature. You sit down to your task, and are happy. From the moment that you take up the pencil, and look Nature in the face, you are at peace with your own heart. No angry passions rise to disturb the silent progress of the work, to shake the hand, or dim the brow: no irritable humours are set afloat: you have no absurd opinions to combat, no point to strain, no adversary to crush, no fool to annoy-you are actuated by fear or favour to no man. There is 'no juggling here, ' no sophistry, no intrigue, no tampering with the evidence, no attempt to make black white, or white black: but you resign yourself into the hands of a greater power, that of Nature, with the simplicity of a child, and the devotion of an enthusiast-'study with joy her manner, and with rapture taste her style.' The mind is calm, and full at the same time. The hand and eye are equally employed. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Download or read book Table Talk written by William Hazlitt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Table Talk: Essays on Men and Manners The first edition was published in two 8vo volumes, the first volume in 1821 with the following title-page: 'Table-Talk; or, Original Essays. By William Hazlitt. London: John Warren, Old Bond-Street 1821'; the second volume in 1822 with the following title-page: 'Table-Talk; or, Original Essays. By William Hazlitt. Vol. 11. London: Printed for Henry Colburn and Co. 1822.' Both volumes were printed by Thomas Davison, Whitefriars. The first volume contained the following Advertisement: 'It may be proper to observe, that the Essays "On the Pleasure of Painting" and "On the Ignorance of the Learned," in this Volume, have already appeared in periodical publications.' The second volume contained a list of 'errata.' The second edition appeared in 1824 in two 8vo volumes. The title-page ran as follows: 'Table-Talk, or Original Essays on Men and Manners. Second Edition. London: Printed for Henry Colburn, New Burlington Street. 1824.' The volumes were printed by J. Nichols and Son, 25 Parliament Street. This edition, apparently a mere reprint of the first edition, is here reprinted verbatim except that the mistakes referred to in the 'errata' of the first edition have been corrected. In 1825 two 8vo volumes appeared in Paris (A. & W. Galignani) entitled, Table-Talk: or Original Essays, By William Hazlitt.' This edition omitted several of the essays included in the English editions of Table-Talk, and included several papers which were afterwards published in England in The Plain Speaker. An Advertisement (see notes to this volume) was prefixed to Vol 1. In the third edition (2 vols. foolscap 8vo 1845) entitled 'Table-Talk: Original Essays on Men and Manners. By William Hazlitt. Edited by his Son. London: C. Templeman, 6, Great Portland Street,' some essays were omitted, the order of the essays was altered, and two essays, 'On Travelling Abroad' and 'On the Spirit of Controversy,' were added. The fourth edition (1857-1861) is a reprint or a re-issue of the third. In the fifth edition (1 volume 8vo, 1869, Bell & Daldy), edited by Mr. William Carew Hazlitt, the text and arrangement of the first two editions are restored, but the essays are divided into three Series. In a later edition edited by Mr. Hazlitt (1 vol. 8vo Bohn's Library, 1891) the essays are arranged continuously.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Round Table, Vol. 2: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men, and Manners The general principle of the difference between the two heads is this - The forehead of the Greek is square and upright, and, as it were, overhangs the rest of the face, except the nose, which is a continuation of it almost in an even line. In the Negro or African, the tip of the nose is the' most projecting part of the face; and from that point the features retreat back, both upwards towards the forehead, and downwards to the chin. This last form is an approximation to the shape of the head of the animal, as the former bears the strong est stamp of humanity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners, Friendship, and Other Essays These hints, dropped as it were from sleep and night, let us use in broad day. The student is to read history actively and not passively; to esteem his own life the text, and books the commentary. Thus compelled, the Muse of history will utter oracles, as never to those who do'mot respect themselves. I have no expectation that any man will read history aright who thinks that what was done in a remote age, by men whose names have resounded far, has any deeper sense than what he is doing to-day.
