London. J. Murray. 1808. 2 vols. pp. viii, (iv) of Contents, 525; (vi), 591. Half dark blue calf, marbled boards. 8vo. Vol 1 repair to top of front hinge.Vol 2 has pencil marginalia and gathering Gg is badly foxed, spine label chipped. Keynes 6. The title-pages of the first issue have been removed, and replaced by new leaves. The Advertisment is transferred to Vol 1 and Contents lists have been added to both Vols. The remaining sheets are the same as before. The edition of 1807 is so scarce that it has been overlooked, and this reissue has usually been regarded as the first edition. Hazlitt was at work on The Eloquence of the British Senate during 1806 - 7. The preface and the critical notes introducing the orators whose speeches he selected are among the earliest of his more characteristic compositions. Some of the notes, such as the character of Burke in Vol II are in his best style.
