619. [HAZLITT (WM.)] Liber Amoris: or, the New Pygmalion. FIRST EDN. Engraved title with vignette portrait of Miss Walker on India paper. 8vo, boards, uncut with label. Lond. 1823

* "Of all the histories I have read of the aberrations of human passion, nothing ever so struck me, with a sort of amazed and painful pity, as Hazlitt's Liber Amoris.' The man was in love with a servant girl [Miss Walker], who in the eyes of others possessed no particular charms of mind or person, yet did the mighty love of this strong, masculine and gifted being, lift her into a sort of goddess-ship; and make his idolatry, in its intense earnestness and reality, assumed something of the sublimity of an act of faith, and in its expression take flight equal to anything that poetry or fiction have left us."-Mrs. Jameson.

* THE FIRST EDITION. VERY RARE. A volume widely popular in the 17th century and seldom found with all the plates. In the fourth book occur the following references to Elizabethan authors:

Excellent Beaumont, in foremost ranke,

Of the rarest wits was never more than Franck,
Mellifluous Shakespeare, whose enchanting quill,
Commandeth Mirth or Passion, was but will.
And famous Johnson, though his learned pen
Be dipt in Castaly, is still but Ben.

Fletcher and Webster, or that learned packe
None of the meanest, yet neither was but Jacke.
Decker's but Tom; nor May, nor Middleton;

And he's now but Jacke Ford, that once were John."

Some remarkable Ghost Stories and Tales of Witchcraft are introduced in the last two books. Here will also be found Heywood's version of Macbeth, which is slightly different, though taken from the same source, as that given by Shakespeare. Heywood describes the witches as being

"The virgins wondrous faire,

As well in habit as in features rare."

And he make Malcolm, Duncan's son, and not Macduff, the slayer of Macbeth.
