A facetious bit of prose _On Sonnet Writing_ and a _Sonnet on Myself_ in _Blackwood's_ of April, 1819, parodied excellently the Cockney conceit and mannerisms. The September number contrasted Henry Hunt, the representative of the Cockney School of Politics, with Leigh Hunt, of the Cockney School of Poetry; resenting loudly the claim of the two to prominence for "even Douglasses never had more than one Bell-the-cat at a time." While Henry Hunt "the brawny white feather of Cockspur-street" addresses street mobs, the other Hunt, "the lank and sallow hypochondriac of the 'leafy rise' and 'farmy fields' of Hampstead," "the whining milk-sop sonneteer of the Examiner" is said to speak to a "sorely depressed remnant of 'single gentlemen' in lodgings, and single ladies we know not where--a generation affected with headaches, tea-drinking and all the nostalgia of the nerves." It is hardly necessary to add that there was no connection whatsoever between the two men. _Blackwood's_ of October, 1819, announced _Foliage_ to be a posthumous publication of Hunt's, presented to the public by his three friends, Keats, Haydon and Novello. An affecting picture is drawn of the now-departed Hunt in his once familiar costume of dressing-gown, yellow breeches and red slippers, sipping tea, playing whist and writing sonnets. His statement in the preface that a "love of sociability, of the country, and the fine imagination of the Greeks" had prompted the poems is greatly ridiculed. The first is said to have caused his death by an over-indulgence in tea-drinking; his feeling for nature is said to be limited to the lawns, stiles and hedges of Hampstead and his knowledge of the imagination of the Greeks to quotations. The _Sonnet On Receiving a Crown of Ivy from Keats_ came in for especial derision--"a blister clapped on his head" would have been considered more appropriate. Hunt's _Literary Pocket Books_ for 1819 and 1820 were reviewed in _Blackwood's_ in December, 1819, in a remarkably kind article. They are recommended as worth three times the price. The reviewer, who was no other than "Christopher North," stated that he had purchased six copies. _Blackwood's_ of September, 1820, reviewed _The Indicator_; of December, 1821, the 1822 _Literary Pocket Book_; the last contained coarse and unkind allusions to Hunt's health. It declared the production of sonnets in London and its suburbs about equal to the number of births and deaths. In reply, _The Examiner_ of December 16, 1821, in an article entitled _Modern Criticism_, italicised extracts from _Blackwood's_ to bring out peculiarities of grammar and diction. _Blackwood's_ of January, 1822, contained a sonnet which it was pretended was Hunt's New Year's greeting, but which was instead a clever parody on his sonnet-style.
