Synopsis

Excerpt from The Essay

The essays of Leigh Hunt, a genuine man of letters, are scarcely original in the highest sense of embodying fresh creations and reveal little imagination; yet they are mark ed by delight in the world of beauty, and by a desire to see men happy. He is a lounger, says Mr. Symons, in the gardens 'of literature; a plucker of fruits from the trees of unfallen Edens. He writes of pleasant sub'jects, mainly of books and nature, in a graceful and charming, slightly archaic style.
