Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leigh Hunt The extremely interesting attempt of the author to estimate his own character, p. 136, seq, was dis covered by Mr. Dykes Campbell in a volume of pamphlets, etc., bound up by John Forster, and now in his collection at South Kensington, and reprinted by him in the At/zezzeum, March 25, 1893. The original is a quarto half-sheet, apparently printed to match with the first edition of Lord Byron and bis Contemporaries. The frontispiece is from the unfinished portrait of Leigh Hunt, undoubtedly the best ever taken, by Samuel Lawrence, 18 37 - now in the possession of Mr. Walter Leigh Hunt, who has kindly allowed it to be again reproduced, and who also lent the letter, from which the characteristic signature has been taken, written - he believes - ln 1850 or 1851.
