PREFACE
24/1026

He imputed to WORDSWORTH the desire of representing himself as a superior man' (vol.
i.p.311, 3d ed.).

The lecture is included in HAZLITT'S published Lectures in all its ignorance and wrong-headedness; but it were a pity to lose one's temper over such trash.

His eyes were spectacles, not 'seeing eyes,' and jaundice-yellow, (_b_) and (_c_) are sequels to (_a_), and as such accompany it.
II.

UPON EPITAPHS.
(_a_) From 'The Friend.' (_b_ and _c_) From the Author's MSS., for the first time.
Of (_a_) CHARLES LAMB wrote: 'Your Essay on Epitaphs is the only sensible thing which has been written on that subject, and it goes to the bottom' (Talfourd's 'Final Memorials,' vol.i.p.

180).
