Margaret Hazlitt's "Recollections" of her father Reverend William Hazlitt (1737-1820), and her brothers essayist and critic William Hazlitt (1778-1830) and artist John Hazlitt (1767-1837) cover the period 1737 to approximately 1812. The diary is of interest for its account of the origins and history of the Hazlitt family and its detailed description of the visit of the Reverend William Hazlitt and his family to North America from 1783 to 1787.

Nineteenth-century English critic William Hazlitt wrote this request for a subscription to Mr. Saunder's circulating library from his home in Piccadilly, London.

Consists of one autograph letter signed by William Hazlitt to an unidentified recipient circa 1815.
