Description: One of 500 copies. 38, 364pp., sm 4to in eights, the second binding of green buckram, 'The Bodley Head' at foot of spine. One bruised corner, a little faded, but a nice, fresh copy. Edited anonymously by W. Carew Hazlitt, and an important edition, printed from the manuscript, with the addition of eleven letters from Hazlitt to his confidant P.G. Patmore, a letter from Sarah Walker to Hazlitt, and five letters from Hazlitt's wife together with her 'Journal of my Trip to Scotland'. It was the inclusion of the letters that moved Augustine Birrell to write that 'they make the subject intolerable . . . the Liber Amoris now sinks below the stage, and joins the realm of things unspeakable - "vile kitchen stuff," fit only for the midden'.
