He reveled in a swashbuckling censoriousness, implementing what he called a "Literary Pure Food Act," stamping a skull and crossbones onto the frontispiece of pseudoscience books he deemed so iffy that they were dangerous.

The dissonance between our lives outside politics and in politics is definitely new So yeah there's a censoriousness now which I have to say, perhaps now as a sort of dinosaur liberal, I find very off-putting because I do slightly cleave to the view that so long as you're not messing up someone else's life or doing something to the detriment of others, then part of what a liberal society is is that we let people get on with stuff, even if we don't agree with it.

The Parable of the Mote and the Beam. Drawing by Ottmar Elliger the Younger (1666–1735). The moral lesson is to avoid hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and censoriousness. The analogy used is of a small object in another's eye as compared with a large beam of wood in one's own.

Written at a dismal time in his life—Hazlitt's divorce was pending, and he was far from sure of being able to marry Sarah Walker—the article shows scarcely a trace of his agony. Not quite like any other essay by Hazlitt, it proved to be one of his most popular, was frequently reprinted after his death, and nearly two centuries later was judged to be "one of the most passionately written pieces of prose in the late Romantic period". Another article written in this period, "On the Pleasure of Hating" (1823; included in The Plain Speaker), is on one level a pure outpouring of spleen, a distillation of all the bitterness of his life to that point. He links his own vitriol, however, to a strain of malignity at the core of human nature: > The pleasure of hating, like a poisonous mineral, eats into the heart of > religion, and turns it to rankling spleen and bigotry; it makes patriotism > an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands: it > leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness, and a narrow, > jealous, inquisitorial watchfulness over the actions and motives of > others.
