Seller's Description:
Good. First Edition. Hardback. 8vo. 4], 227, [1] pp.; 20cms by 12.5. Original publisher's green cloth lettered gilt at the spine ('Painting, And The Fine Arts, 6s'). Front paste-down paper advertisement for Encylopędia Britannica. Appears to lack half title, title page is first page. Worn but complete vg minus copy with inner hinges slightly cracked but holding, spine ends slightly nicked, and covers marked. These two articles first appeared in the 1824 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Hazlitt's article, 'The Fine Arts', is largely an attack on Sir Joshua Reynolds's concept of the Ideal as set out in his Discourses: Hazlitt's theory is that Art is first and last the imitation of Nature. The printer is named on the title page verso and in the colophon: 'Edinburgh: Printed by Balfour and Jack. '
