I like the biographical article on Leigh Hunt, but found it did not mention a weekly that he edited and, I believe, wrote much of called The Companion. I have a copy of it now from a unversity library. It ran from issue "No. I.--WEDNESDAY, JAN. 9,1828" through issue "No. XXIX, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1828". The edition of the hardcover that I have is from AMS PRESS, INC., New York, N.Y. 10003, 1967, and seems to be a facsimile edition with absolutely no editorial comments or additions of any sort.

It takes up 432 pp. of fine print and, although the weekly seems to have run less than a year, probably is worth mentioning in your biographical article on Leigh Hunt.

[edit] Article Length

I feel that this article is a bit too long to read at one sitting. maybe someone knowledgeable could chop it up to several pieces so it is easier to read. i would suggest a short biography on the physical existence. the works and personal life kind of work together anyhow... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.246.234.157 (talk) 17:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article Language

It seems that the language of the article is not objective. Editor should make sure to remove subjective adjectives as 'Beautiful' 'best' 'great' etc... it sounds more like an obituary than an encyclopedia article. however, the creator of the article obviously shows great knowledge and insight in hunt's life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.246.234.157 (talk) 17:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
