William Hazlitt was born atM aidstone, loth A pril 1778, his father being aU nitarian minister of I rish birth and parentage; his motheri Grace LoA us, the daughter of a farmer of Wisbech. In 1783 the family went to A merica, and remained till 17871 when they returned and settled at Wem inS hropshire. William received his early education at home here, and at the age of fifteen was sent to the Unitarian College at Hackney to study for the ministry. He had already written in 1792, A Project for aN ew Theory of Criminal and Civil Legislation. After about four years at Hackney he had given up all ideas of the pulpit His father was still living at Wem, and there it was that in 1798 Hazlitt first saw Coleridge, and heard his last sermon in the Unitarian chapel of which his ther had the charge. Coleridge took a kindly interest in him, and encouraged his application to metaphysics, and, moreover, in the spring of the same year invited him toN etherS towey, where he spent three weeks, and on an excursion to Lynton with Coleridge met Wordsworth. It was firom this visit that Hazlitt dated his regard for literature; he was never a reader of many books, but what he read he studied thoroughly. In 1802-3, after learning the elements of painting, probably from his elder brother John, who had been a pupil of Reynolds, he spent some four months in Paris copying pictures.

If he did not shine as an artist in execution, he had a true love for art as for literature.
