Excerpt: ... but because he had a divine and loving heart; and wherever such greatness has appeared, there has divineness appeared also, as surely as the same sunshine of heaven is on the mountain tops of east and west. Such are the doctrines, and such only, accompanied by expositions of the beauties and wonders of God's great book of the universe, which will be preached in the temples of the earth, including those of our beloved country, England, its beautiful old ivied turrets and their green neighbourhoods, then, for the first time, thoroughly uncontradicted and heavenly; with not a sound in them more terrible than the stormy yet sweet organ, analogous to the beneficent winds and tempests; and no thought of here or hereafter, that can disturb the quiet aspect of the graves, or the welcome of the new-born darlings And that such a consummation may come slowly but surely, without intermission in its advance, and with not an injury to a living soul, will be the last prayer, as it must needs be among the Litest words, of the author of this book. CHAPTER XXVL LIFE DRAWING TOWARDS ITS CLOSE. When I closed the preceding chapter, which terminated the first edition of this biography, I did not think it would be followed by one like the present. I fancied I should go on, living as I did before, reading and writing as usual, working placidly rather than otherwise to the last, reckoning confidently on my being survived by every one of my family, old as well as young, and closing my days, if with no great applause from such of my fellow-creatures as had read me or heard of me, yet with no reproach from any of them, and something like regret from all.

<p>The Autobiography of Leigh Hunt has been taken at face-value by generations of readers and social historians. It is justly celebrated for its accounts of Hunt's experience as an eighteenth-century pupil at Christ's Hospital (which can be compared to those of Coleridge and Hunt's friend CharlesLamb); the transformation of his prison cell and garden at Horsemonger Lane and, more generally, his experience of imprisonment; Shelley's last days and his cremation on the beach at La Spezia; many memorable theatrical performances; the politically-charged drama of the law courts; the varieties ofLondon (to which, as a proudly defiant 'Cockney', Hunt deliberately arrogated a particular significance); the shifting and sometimes terrifying realities of a sea-voyage; and Hunt's intimate perspectives into the lives of Shelley, Byron, Keats, Lamb, Moore, and many others. Yet, as this editiondemonstrates, Hunt's Autobiography is a strategically constructed work which often proceeded through a number of stages before reaching a final equilibrium. For the first time since the book appeared in 1850, this text follows the version of the first edition, by which Hunt was generally known tohis contemporaries, rather than the revised version of 1860, which was published after his death.</p>
