Finished essay IV of volume two: "On Coffee-house politicians."
"... The Evening Paper is impatiently expected and called for at a certain critical minute: the news of the morning becomes stale and vapid by the dinner-hour. A fresher interest is required, an appetite for the latest-stirring information is excited."

I'm beginning to regret trying to rush this. Hazlitt is a good writer, but very prolix. He is constantly saying the same thing three or four times.

AND I conscientiously went back and read the first five essays, which I had no notes on.

Reading for pleasure should never seem like a chore. 77 percent of a 400 pp. book means 75 pages to go.
