| Summary | "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 03 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of political essays and reflections written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on Hazlitt's critique of politics, patriotism, and the nature of liberty, drawing on contemporary issues and political characters of his time. It offers insights into the political landscape of early 19th-century Britain through the lens of Hazlitt’s passionate advocacy for individual rights and critiques of governmental authority. The opening of this work sets the tone with a letter entitled "Free Thoughts on Public Affairs," where Hazlitt addresses a member of the Old Opposition and reflects on the essence of true patriotism. He contrasts genuine love for one’s country with false patriotism characterized by self-interest and support for oppressive measures. Hazlitt articulates concerns about the ongoing wars and their justifications, emphasizing the need for a critical and honest evaluation of government actions. Throughout this section, he establishes a framework for understanding political responsibility, the importance of liberty, and the moral imperative to resist tyranny, aiming for a persuasive yet reflective dialogue on the state of the nation and its leadership.
