This 1890 collection includes essays on such writers as William Hazlitt, Thomas Moore, Leigh Hunt, and Thomas De Quincy. Saintsbury clearly outlines the general characteristics of each author, always achieving an unbiased tone, as he believed opinions are not the same as judgment—and judging is the critic’s task.
