"Memoirs of Henry Hunt, Esq. — Volume 2" by Henry Hunt is a personal memoir written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the author's life experiences, personal reflections, and political activism, providing insight into social issues and events of the time, particularly focusing on the plight of the poor and the need for political reform. The opening of the memoir reflects on Henry Hunt’s past indulgent lifestyle filled with social gatherings, feasting, and hunting, while also highlighting his commitment to supporting the less fortunate in his community. He recalls the annual celebrations he hosted, ensuring that the elderly poor from his parish shared in the festivities, which created joy and connection among them. As Hunt prepares for a grouse shooting trip to Wales, he recounts a social encounter with the Marquis of Lansdown, emphasizing the hospitality and camaraderie of the upper class while contrasting it with the systemic issues affecting the poor. His narrative weaves together personal anecdotes with social commentary, setting the stage for a reflection on his public life and political principles as they develop throughout the memoir.
