According to Wikipedia: "William Hazlitt (10 April 1778 – 18 September 1830) was an English writer, remembered for his humanistic essays and literary criticism, and as a grammarian and philosopher. He is now considered one of the great critics and essayists of the English language,[1][2] placed in the company of Samuel Johnson and George Orwell,[3][4] but his work is currently little-read and mostly out of print.[5][6] During his lifetime he befriended many people who are now part of the nineteenth-century literary canon, such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles and Mary Lamb, and Stendhal."
