XII. + + +1828. + + + + +PREFACE + + +The present sheet completes the TWELFTH VOLUME OF THE MIRROR. This +circumstance alone is _typical_ of the substantial patronage which has +attended our exertions from their commencement; and may be, we hope, +anticipatory of continued success. + +Our career of six years has been subdivided into twelve volumes or +_sessions_; we have had no _recess_, but uniformly "_a house_;" and, as +members of the republic of letters, we hope to be re-elected by our +numerous constituents. To speak heroically, and as Puff says in the +Critic, to "keep it up," their approbation is + + + the air we breathe, + If we have it not, we die. + + +Although we do not presume to account for our own success, or to trace +its maintenance through all the fluctuations of six years--yet we are +prone to believe that the economy of the plan, coupled with the spirit of +curiosity which it is our aim to encourage,--have been the prime movers +of our fortunes, as they have been the pivots upon which we have +performed our half-yearly revolutions. In these we have allowed neither +autumn nor winter to impair our exertions; and, however time may have +worn otherwise with us, we still feel all the youth and freshness of +spring-tide, warmed by the genial ray of public favour. + +The spirit of curiosity to which we here allude, is thus admirably +described by Sterne:--"The love of variety, or curiosity of seeing new +things, which is the same, or at least a sister passion to it,--seems +wove into the frame of every son and daughter of Adam; we usually speak +of it as one of nature's levities, though planted within us for the solid +purposes of carrying forwards the mind to fresh enquiry and knowledge: +strip us of it, the mind (I fear) would doze for ever over the present +page; and we should all of us rest at ease with such objects as present +themselves in the parish or province where we first drew our breath." + +Such has been our feeling from the first; and in pursuing this principle, +we have been greatly encouraged by the several contributors, whose +signatures abound in every Number of THE MIRROR. To these friends we beg +thus briefly to return our sincere thanks. + +The arrangement of the present Volume, generally, accords with those of +its successful predecessors. Fact and fancy; sentiment, poetry, and +popular science; anecdote and art; love of nature and knowledge of the +world--alternate in its columns. In these several departments popular +reading has been our study. With this view, we have paid especial +attention to the domestic history--the customs, amusements, and +peculiarities--of our own country; and to such a portion of foreign +novelties as bear upon the welfare and interests of the present +generation. Economy of time, which is also economy of money or cost, has +been the ruling principle of our little literary exchequer; while our +_ways and means_ for the future are equally abundant. + +The illustrative portion, also, contains many striking novelties, which, +as identified with contemporary curiosity, or as performances of art, +will, we are persuaded, be duly appreciated. + +We abstain from further enumeration of the contents or of their +respective claims to the reader's notice. In every Number it has been our +endeavour to cater for his "amusement and instruction," so as to combine +interest and novelty--or, in a homely phrase, to make each sheet like +"_the punch of conversation_." Thus, we have spirit, volatile and fiery in +our leading articles; lemon in our pungent Notes; sugar in our +"Gatherer;" and water _quant. suff._--mixed in a form, which, like old +bowls or drinking-glasses, is variegated with figures and scenes of the +current fashion--as in our Engravings. + +But we are getting too figurative, and our Christmas fare, unlike +ourselves, is growing cold. So, indulgent reader, we promise to drink +your health and return thanks for the same in your absence; though we had +rather you were present to witness and share our exceeding great joy; and +then to commence our Thirteenth Volume. Pardon this exuberance of the +season: we reason with Falstaff:--"If then the tree may be known by the +fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then, peremptorily I speak it, there is +virtue in that Falstaff: him keep with; the rest banish." + +_Christmas Day_, 1828. + + * * * * * + + + + +[Illustration: PORTRAIT OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ.] + + +MEMOIR OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. + + +Thomas Moore, Esq. the only son of Mr. Garret Moore, formerly a merchant +in Dublin, was born May 28, 1780. He received the rudiments of an +excellent education from Mr. Samuel Whyte, of Dublin, a man of taste and +talent, known and respected as the early tutor of Sheridan; after which, +at the age of fourteen, Mr. Moore was entered a student of Trinity +College, Dublin. While at the University, he was greatly distinguished by +his enthusiastic attachment to the liberty and independence of his +country, which he more than once publicly asserted with uncommon energy +and eloquence. His classical studies being completed, in 1799, he entered +himself of the Temple, with a view to make the law his profession, and +was called to the bar. In these moments, when he was not occupied with +the dry technicalities and quibbles of legal writers, he amused himself +with translating the Odes of Anacreon, which he published with copious +notes, in 1800. Such was Mr. Moore's youthful appearance at this time, +that being at a large dinner party, and getting up to escort the ladies +to the drawing-room, a French gentleman observed, "_Ah, le petit bon +homme, qu'il s'en va_." Mr. Moore's subsequent brilliant conversation, +however, soon proved him to be, though little of stature, yet, like Pope, +"in wit, a man." + +Assuming the appropriate name of _Little_, our author published in 1801, +a volume of poems, chiefly amatory, which, though they established his +_poetical_ reputation, were severely censured for their warmth and +licentiousness. Their success, however, was very considerable, fifteen or +sixteen editions being sold within a short time. In the same year he +advertised a work entitled "Philosophy of Pleasure;" but this was never +published. + +Towards the autumn of 1803, Mr. Moore embarked for Bermuda, where he had +obtained the appointment of Registrar to the Admiralty. This was a patent +place, and of a description so unsuited to his temper of mind, that he +fulfilled the duties of it by deputy, but the profits ultimately proved +unworthy of Mr. Moore's serious attention; and we believe Mr. Moore has +suffered by the villany of this substitute, to an important amount. He +likewise visited the United States, and upon his return home, in 1806, he +published his remarks on the American character, in a work entitled +"Epistles, Odes, and other Poems." The preface to this little work +sufficiently established the talent of Mr. Moore, as a prose writer. His +opinion of the Americans is also there pretty freely expressed, and some +of the poems, like those ascribed to Little, were objectionable in a +moral point of view. The work was accordingly attacked with much severity, +by Mr. Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh Review: the irritated poet +challenged his critic, but the duel was prevented, and the pistols being +found loaded with paper pellets, the whole affair ended pleasantly enough. + +The fate of Addison, with his Countess Dowager, holding out no +encouragement for the ambitious love of Mr. Moore, he wisely and happily +allowed his good taste to regulate his choice in a wife, and some years +ago married Miss Dyke, a lady of great personal attractions, and +accomplished manners, in whose congenial society he passes much of his +time in the retirement of an elegant cottage, in Wiltshire, devoting +himself chiefly to literary pursuits. + +In 1808, Mr. Moore sent to the press "Corruption and Intolerance;" two +poems, with notes: addressed to an Englishman, by an Irishman; and in +1809, "The Sceptic," a philosophical satire. These works, of which the +first is pungently satirical, are little known; but they are worthy of +their author. They were succeeded in 1810, by "A Letter to the Roman +Catholics of Dublin." His next production, "Intercepted Letters, or the +Two-penny Post Bag, by Thomas Brown, the younger," 1812, was eagerly +perused, and fourteen editions of it were printed. Its severities on an +elevated personage and the court, will perhaps never be forgotten by the +parties. In sparkling wit, keen sarcasm, and humorous pleasantry, it is +rivalled only by another volume, entitled "The Fudge Family in Paris," +published in 1818, the hero of which is a distinguished poet, and a +zealous supporter of the present administration. To this class of Mr. +Moore's works belong his "Fables for the Holy Alliance," and "Rhymes on +the Road," which deserve, in some respect, a higher reputation than the +former volumes. + +Mr. Moore appears equally to have cultivated a taste for music as well as +for poesy; and the late Dr. Burney was perfectly astonished at his talent +which he emphatically called "peculiarly his own." In 1813, Mr. Moore's +fame was materially increased by the appearance of his exquisite songs to +Sir John Stevenson's selection of Irish Melodies. Some of these songs are +among the finest specimens of poetry in our language, and the morality of +the whole of them is unexceptionable. They have since been collected into +one volume. In 1816, he published "A Series of Sacred Songs, Duets, and +Trios," the music to which was composed and selected by himself and Sir +John Stevenson. + +In 1817, came forth his great work, on which he was known to have been +long engaged, and which if it had been his only production, would have +carried his name down to posterity as one of the first bards of his time. +"Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn," would not be an +inapplicable motto for this oriental romance, which unites the purest and +softest tenderness with the loftiest dignity, and glows in every page +with all the fervour of poetry. For the copyright of this poem he is said +to have received the sum of 3,000 guineas, and it must have proved a +source of immense profit to the publishers. + +In 1818, Mr. Moore visited his native city, Dublin, on which occasion our +poet was invited to a public dinner, which was graced by a large +assemblage of the most distinguished literary and political characters. +The Earl of Charlemont took the chair; Mr. Moore sat on his right hand, +Mr. Moore, sen. a venerable old gentleman, the father of the poet, was on +the left. + +On Lord Charlemont proposing "The living Poets of Great Britain," Mr. +Moore said-- + + "Gentlemen, notwithstanding the witty song which you have just heard, + and the flattering elevation which the author has assigned me, I + cannot allow such a mark of respect to be paid to the illustrious + names that adorn the literature of the present day, without calling + your attention awhile to the singular constellation of genius, and + asking you to dwell a little on the brightness of each "particular + star" that forms it. Can I name to you a Byron, without recalling to + your hearts recollections of all that his mighty genius has awakened + there, his energy, his burning words, his intense passion, that + disposition of fine fancy to wander only among the ruins of the heart, + to dwell in places which the fire of feeling has desolated, and like + the chestnut-tree, that grows best in volcanic soils, to luxuriate + most where conflagration of passion has left its mark? Need I mention + to you a Scott, that fertile and fascinating writer, the vegetation + of whose mind is as rapid as that of a northern summer, and as rich + as the most golden harvests of the south, whose beautiful creations + succeed each other like fruits in Armida's enchanted garden, "one + scarce is gathered ere another grows?" Shall I recall to you a Rogers, + (to me endeared by friendship as well as genius,) who has hung up his + own name on the shrine of memory among the most imperishable tablets + there. A Southey, _not the laureate_, but the author of 'Don + Roderick,' one of the noblest and most eloquent poems in any language. + A Campbell, the polished and spirited Campbell, whose song of + 'Innisfail' is the very tears of our own Irish muse, crystallized by + the touch of genius, and made eternal. A Wordsworth, a poet, even in + his puerilities, whose capacious mind, like the great pool of Norway, + draws into its vortex not only the mighty things of the deep, but its + minute weeds and refuse. A Crabbe, who has shown what the more than + galvanic power of talent can effect, by giving not only motion, but + life and soul to subjects that seemed incapable of it. I could + enumerate, gentlemen, still more, and from thence would pass with + delight to dwell upon the living poets of our own land. The dramatic + powers of a Maturin and a Shiel, the former consecrated by the + applause of a Scott and a Byron, and the latter by the tears of some + of the brightest eyes in the empire. The rich imagination of a + Philips, who has courted more than one Muse. The versatile genius of + a Morgan, who was the first that mated our sweet Irish strains with + poetry worthy of their pathos and their force. But I feel I have + already trespassed too long upon your patience and your time. I do + not regret, however, that you have deigned to listen with patience to + this humble tribute to the living masters of the English lyre, which + I, 'the meanest of the throng,' thus feebly, but heartily, have paid + them." + +Towards the close of 1822, Mr. Moore published "The Loves of the Angels," +a poem of exquisite tenderness and beauty. The object of the poet is, +by an allegorical medium, to shadow out the fall of the soul from its +original purity--the loss of light and happiness which it suffers, in the +pursuit of this world's perishable pleasures--and the punishments from +conscience and Divine justice. + +Soon after the death of Lord Byron, in 1824, Mr. Moore became involved +in a dispute which involved many private feelings. The facts may be thus +briefly stated:--It appears that about two years previous to his death, +Lord Byron wrote his own Memoirs, which, according to Captain Medwin, +were given "to Moore, or Moore's little boy, at Venice," with the +observation of "Here's 2,000_l_. for you, my young friend;" and that +they were not to be published till after his lordship's death. On the +completion of the Memoirs, Lord Byron wrote to his lady, proposing to +send them for her inspection; but she rejected the offer, desiring that +they might never appear, and finishing with a threat. Lord Byron +concluded his reply by saying, that "she might depend on their being +published;" and his lordship further says, "It was not till after this +correspondence that I made Moore the depositary of the MS." Mr. Moore +subsequently disposed of the MS. to Mr. Murray, the bookseller, for the +sum of 2,000 guineas; but, at the anxious wish of some of Lord Byron's +relatives, the purchase-money was returned to Mr. Murray, and the MS. was +burnt. The circumstances being so recent, we do not think it requisite to +enlarge upon them. Mr. Moore has since entered into an agreement with his +publishers for a Life of Lord Byron, and a few weeks since the first +portion of the copy was sent to the printer. + +Almost simultaneous with the above affair was the publication of Mr. +Moore's "Memoirs of Captain Rock, the celebrated Irish Chieftain,"--a +work of political, humorous, and satirical character, turning upon the +wrongs and riots of Ireland, with which, as our readers will allow, +we have here little to do. It contains great historical research, and +had its day; but the gratification in the perusal is of a very mixed +character. Its success, however, was sufficient to induce the publication +of an imitative work entitled "Captain Rock's Letters to the King," which +was "certainly not written by Mr. Moore, to whom, while the publication +was suspended, they were so positively ascribed." + +In the following year, Mr. Moore published the "Memoirs of the Right Hon. +R.B. Sheridan," having previously edited an edition of his works. In +these Memoirs, Mr. Moore has done justice to the character of Sheridan, +neither concealing his follies and vices, nor magnifying his good +qualities. We quote a paragraph from this work for the purpose of +introducing a portion of some very beautiful lines by Mr. Moore, which +first appeared in the _Morning Chronicle_, immediately after Sheridan's +death. + +"There appeared some verses at the time, which, however intemperate in +their satire and careless in their style, came, evidently, warm from the +heart of the writer, and contained sentiments to which, even in his +cooler moments he needs not hesitate to subscribe:-- + + "Oh it sickens the heart to see bosoms so hollow, + And friendships so false in the great and high-born;-- + To think what a long line of titles may follow + The relics of him who died, friendless and lorn! + + "How proud they can press to the funeral array + Of him whom they shunn'd,in his sickness and sorrow-- + How bailiffs may seize his last blanket to-day, + Whose pall shall be held up by Nobles to-morrow!" + + +The anonymous writer thus characterises the talents of Sheridan:-- + + + "Was this then the fate of that high-gifted man, + The pride of the palace, the bower, and the hall-- + The orator, dramatist, minstrel,--who ran + Through each mode of the lyre, and was master of all? + + "Whose mind was an essence, compounded, with art. + From the finest and best of all other men's powers; + Who rul'd, like a wizard, the world of the heart, + And could call up its sunshine, or draw down its showers; + + "Whose humour, as gay as the fire-fly's light, + Play'd round every subject, and shone as it play'd; + Whose wit, in the combat as gentle as bright, + Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade,-- + + "Whose eloquence, brightening whatever it tried, + Whether reason or fancy, the gay or the grave, + Was as rapid as deep, and as brilliant a tide, + As ever bore Freedom aloft on its wave!"[1] + + +In 1827, appeared "The Epicurean," a tale of extreme grace and feeling, +and conveying the sublime lessons of Epicurus, in one of the most +attractive of poetico-prosaic forms. In picturesque knowledge, splendid +descriptions, startling and mysterious incidents, and intellectual riches, +this work is almost unparalleled in our language; and, observes an +elegant critic, "the narrative sweeps along, like a mild and glassy river +winding through banks of the most brilliant verdure, sometimes sparkling +and bubbling to the sunshine of fancy, and at intervals solemnly gliding +on with a deep under-current of philosophy." + +The contributions of Mr. Moore to one of the most powerful of the London +journals are too well recognised by the public to require further than a +passing notice of their being recently published in an elegant little +volume, entitled "Odes upon Cash, Corn, Catholics, and other Matters;" +and we believe them to be entitled by their raciness and humour to a +niche in the library, beyond the destructible form of a newspaper. + +In this brief Memoir, we have little more than glanced at Mr. Moore's +several works, and the periods of their publication; although we could +crowd our pages with the highest testimonials of their poetical and +literary merits. Much as we admire "his wit, his festive merriment, and +inimitable satires, and the ingenious imagery, and the elaborate melody +and finish of every period of his prose"--we are disposed to think him +pre-eminently successful in delineating the plaintive and pensive woes +of deep and settled melancholy: thus-- + + + As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, + While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below; + So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, + Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while. + + +We have already noticed the taste of Mr. Moore for music. "Nor has he +neglected those more solid attainments which should ever distinguish the +well-bred gentleman, for he is an excellent general scholar, and +particularly well-read in the literature of the middle ages. His +conversational powers are great, and his modest and unassuming manners +have placed him in the highest rank of cultivated society." Although his +reputation is so well established, he speaks of himself with his wonted +modesty. "Whatever fame he might have acquired he attributed principally +to the verses which he had adapted to the delicious strains of Irish +melody. His verses, in themselves, could boast of but little merit; but +like flies preserved in amber, they were esteemed in consequence of the +precious material by which they were surrounded." + +Sheridan, in speaking of the subject of this memoir, said "That there was +no man who put so much of his heart into his fancy as Tom Moore; that his +soul seemed as if it were a particle of fire separated from the sun; and +was always fluttering to get back to that source of light and heat." Lord +Byron, too, distinguished Moore as "a name consecrated by unshaken public +principle, and the most undoubted and various talents." + + [1] Moore's Sheridan, vol. ii. p. 463. + + * * * * * + + + + +INDEX. + + +VOL.

To speak heroically, and as Puff says in the + Critic, to "keep it up," their approbation is + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + the air we breathe, + </p> + <p> + If we have it not, we die. + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + Although we do not presume to account for our own success, or + to trace its maintenance through all the fluctuations of six + years—yet we are prone to believe that the economy of + the plan, coupled with the spirit of curiosity which it is + our aim to encourage,—have been the prime movers of our + fortunes, as they have been the pivots upon which we have + performed our half-yearly revolutions. In these we have + allowed neither autumn nor winter to impair our exertions; + and, however time may have worn otherwise with us, we still + feel all the youth and freshness of spring-tide, warmed by + the genial ray of public favour. + </p> + <p> + The spirit of curiosity to which we here allude, is thus + admirably described by Sterne:—"The love of variety, or + curiosity of seeing new things, which is the same, or at + least a sister passion to it,—seems wove into the frame + of every son and daughter of Adam; we usually speak of it as + one of nature's levities, though planted within us for the + solid purposes of carrying forwards the mind to fresh enquiry + and knowledge: strip us of it, the mind (I fear) would doze + for ever over the present page; and we should all of us rest + at ease with such objects as present themselves in the parish + or province where we first drew our breath." + </p> + <p> + Such has been our feeling from the first; and in pursuing + this principle, we have been greatly encouraged by the + several contributors, whose signatures abound in every Number + of THE MIRROR. To these friends we beg thus briefly to return + our sincere thanks. + </p> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageiv" name="pageiv"></a>[pg + iv]</span> The arrangement of the present Volume, generally, + accords with those of its successful predecessors. Fact and + fancy; sentiment, poetry, and popular science; anecdote and + art; love of nature and knowledge of the + world—alternate in its columns. In these several + departments popular reading has been our study. With this + view, we have paid especial attention to the domestic + history—the customs, amusements, and + peculiarities—of our own country; and to such a portion + of foreign novelties as bear upon the welfare and interests + of the present generation. Economy of time, which is also + economy of money or cost, has been the ruling principle of + our little literary exchequer; while our <i>ways and + means</i> for the future are equally abundant. + </p> + <p> + The illustrative portion, also, contains many striking + novelties, which, as identified with contemporary curiosity, + or as performances of art, will, we are persuaded, be duly + appreciated. + </p> + <p> + We abstain from further enumeration of the contents or of + their respective claims to the reader's notice. In every + Number it has been our endeavour to cater for his "amusement + and instruction," so as to combine interest and + novelty—or, in a homely phrase, to make each sheet like + "<i>the punch of conversation</i>." Thus, we have spirit, + volatile and fiery in our leading articles; lemon in our + pungent Notes; sugar in our "Gatherer;" and water <i>quant. + suff.</i>—mixed in a form, which, like old bowls or + drinking-glasses, is variegated with figures and scenes of + the current fashion—as in our Engravings. + </p> + <p> + But we are getting too figurative, and our Christmas fare, + unlike ourselves, is growing cold. So, indulgent reader, we + promise to drink your health and return thanks for the same + in your absence; though we had rather you were present to + witness and share our exceeding great joy; and then to + commence our Thirteenth Volume. Pardon this exuberance of the + season: we reason with Falstaff:—"If then the tree may + be known by the fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then, + peremptorily I speak it, there is virtue in that Falstaff: + him keep with; the rest banish." + </p> + <p> + <i>Christmas Day</i>, 1828. + </p> + <hr /> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pagei-2" name="pagei-2"></a>[pg + i]</span> + </p> + <div class="figure" style="width: 100%;"> + <a href="images/349-1.png"><img width="100%" + src="images/349-1.png" + alt="Portrait of Thomas Moore, Esq." /></a> + </div> + <h3> + MEMOIR OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. + </h3> + <p> + Thomas Moore, Esq. the only son of Mr. Garret Moore, formerly + a merchant in Dublin, was born May 28, 1780. He received the + rudiments of an excellent education from Mr. Samuel Whyte, of + Dublin, a man of taste and talent, known and respected as the + early tutor of Sheridan; after which, at the age of fourteen, + Mr. Moore was entered a student of Trinity College, Dublin. + While at the University, he was greatly distinguished by his + enthusiastic attachment to the liberty and independence of + his country, which he more than once publicly asserted with + uncommon energy and eloquence. His classical studies being + completed, in 1799, he entered himself of the Temple, with a + view to make the law his profession, and was called to the + bar. In these moments, when he was not occupied with the dry + technicalities and quibbles of legal writers, he amused + himself with translating the Odes of Anacreon, which he + published with copious notes, in 1800. Such was Mr. Moore's + youthful appearance at this time, that being at a large + dinner party, and getting up to escort the ladies to the + drawing-room, a French gentleman observed, "<i>Ah, le petit + bon homme, qu'il s'en va</i>." Mr. Moore's subsequent + brilliant conversation, however, soon proved him to be, + though little of stature, yet, like Pope, "in wit, a man." + </p> + <p> + Assuming the appropriate name of <i>Little</i>, our author + published in 1801, a volume of poems, chiefly amatory, which, + though they established his <i>poetical</i> reputation, were + severely censured for their warmth and licentiousness. Their + success, however, was very considerable, fifteen or sixteen + editions being sold within a short time. In the same year he + advertised a work entitled "Philosophy of Pleasure;" but this + was never published. + </p> + <p> + Towards the autumn of 1803, Mr. Moore embarked for Bermuda, + where he had obtained the appointment of Registrar to the + Admiralty. This was a patent place, and of a description so + unsuited to his temper of mind, that he fulfilled the duties + of it by deputy, but the profits ultimately proved unworthy + of Mr. Moore's serious attention; and we believe Mr. Moore + has suffered by the villany of this substitute, to an + important amount. He likewise visited the United States, and + upon his return home, in 1806, he published his remarks on + the American character, in a work entitled "Epistles, Odes, + and other Poems." The preface to this little work + sufficiently established the talent of Mr. Moore, as a prose + writer. His opinion of the Americans is also there pretty + freely expressed, and some of the poems, like those ascribed + to Little, were objectionable in a moral point of view. The + work was accordingly attacked with much severity, by Mr. + Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh Review: the irritated + poet challenged his critic, but the duel was prevented, and + the pistols being found loaded with paper pellets, the whole + affair ended pleasantly enough. + </p> + <p> + The fate of Addison, with his Countess Dowager, holding out + no encouragement for the ambitious love of Mr. Moore, he + wisely and happily allowed his good taste to regulate his + choice in a wife, and some years ago married Miss Dyke, a + lady of great personal attractions, and accomplished manners, + in whose congenial society he passes much of his time in the + retirement of an elegant cottage, in Wiltshire, devoting + himself chiefly to literary pursuits. + </p> + <p> + In 1808, Mr. Moore sent to the press "Corruption and + Intolerance;" two poems, with notes: addressed to an + Englishman, by an Irishman; and in 1809, "The Sceptic," a + philosophical satire. These works, of + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageii-2" + name="pageii-2"></a>[pg ii]</span> which the first is + pungently satirical, are little known; but they are worthy of + their author. They were succeeded in 1810, by "A Letter to + the Roman Catholics of Dublin." His next production, + "Intercepted Letters, or the Two-penny Post Bag, by Thomas + Brown, the younger," 1812, was eagerly perused, and fourteen + editions of it were printed. Its severities on an elevated + personage and the court, will perhaps never be forgotten by + the parties. In sparkling wit, keen sarcasm, and humorous + pleasantry, it is rivalled only by another volume, entitled + "The Fudge Family in Paris," published in 1818, the hero of + which is a distinguished poet, and a zealous supporter of the + present administration. To this class of Mr. Moore's works + belong his "Fables for the Holy Alliance," and "Rhymes on the + Road," which deserve, in some respect, a higher reputation + than the former volumes. + </p> + <p> + Mr. Moore appears equally to have cultivated a taste for + music as well as for poesy; and the late Dr. Burney was + perfectly astonished at his talent which he emphatically + called "peculiarly his own." In 1813, Mr. Moore's fame was + materially increased by the appearance of his exquisite songs + to Sir John Stevenson's selection of Irish Melodies. Some of + these songs are among the finest specimens of poetry in our + language, and the morality of the whole of them is + unexceptionable. They have since been collected into one + volume. In 1816, he published "A Series of Sacred Songs, + Duets, and Trios," the music to which was composed and + selected by himself and Sir John Stevenson. + </p> + <p> + In 1817, came forth his great work, on which he was known to + have been long engaged, and which if it had been his only + production, would have carried his name down to posterity as + one of the first bards of his time. "Thoughts that breathe, + and words that burn," would not be an inapplicable motto for + this oriental romance, which unites the purest and softest + tenderness with the loftiest dignity, and glows in every page + with all the fervour of poetry. For the copyright of this + poem he is said to have received the sum of 3,000 guineas, + and it must have proved a source of immense profit to the + publishers. + </p> + <p> + In 1818, Mr. Moore visited his native city, Dublin, on which + occasion our poet was invited to a public dinner, which was + graced by a large assemblage of the most distinguished + literary and political characters. The Earl of Charlemont + took the chair; Mr. Moore sat on his right hand, Mr. Moore, + sen. a venerable old gentleman, the father of the poet, was + on the left. + </p> + <p> + On Lord Charlemont proposing "The living Poets of Great + Britain," Mr. Moore said— + </p> + <blockquote> + "Gentlemen, notwithstanding the witty song which you have + just heard, and the flattering elevation which the author has + assigned me, I cannot allow such a mark of respect to be paid + to the illustrious names that adorn the literature of the + present day, without calling your attention awhile to the + singular constellation of genius, and asking you to dwell a + little on the brightness of each "particular star" that forms + it. Can I name to you a Byron, without recalling to your + hearts recollections of all that his mighty genius has + awakened there, his energy, his burning words, his intense + passion, that disposition of fine fancy to wander only among + the ruins of the heart, to dwell in places which the fire of + feeling has desolated, and like the chestnut-tree, that grows + best in volcanic soils, to luxuriate most where conflagration + of passion has left its mark? Need I mention to you a Scott, + that fertile and fascinating writer, the vegetation of whose + mind is as rapid as that of a northern summer, and as rich as + the most golden harvests of the south, whose beautiful + creations succeed each other like fruits in Armida's + enchanted garden, "one scarce is gathered ere another grows?" + Shall I recall to you a Rogers, (to me endeared by friendship + as well as genius,) who has hung up his own name on the + shrine of memory among the most imperishable tablets there. A + Southey, <i>not the laureate</i>, but the author of 'Don + Roderick,' one of the noblest and most eloquent poems in any + language. A Campbell, the polished and spirited Campbell, + whose song of 'Innisfail' is the very tears of our own Irish + muse, crystallized by the touch of genius, and made eternal. + A Wordsworth, a poet, even in his puerilities, whose + capacious mind, like the great pool of Norway, draws into its + vortex not only the mighty things of the deep, but its minute + weeds and refuse. A Crabbe, who has shown what the more than + galvanic power of talent can effect, by giving not only + motion, but life and soul to subjects that seemed incapable + of it. I could enumerate, gentlemen, still more, and from + thence would pass with delight to dwell upon the living poets + of our own land. The dramatic powers of a Maturin and a + Shiel, the former consecrated by the applause of a Scott and + a Byron, and the latter by the tears of some of the brightest + eyes in the empire. The rich imagination of a Philips, who + has courted more than one Muse. The versatile genius of a + Morgan, who was the first that mated our sweet Irish strains + with poetry worthy of their pathos and their force. But I + feel I have already trespassed too long upon your patience + and your time. + </blockquote> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageiii-2" + name="pageiii-2"></a>[pg iii]</span> + </p> + <p> + Towards the close of 1822, Mr. Moore published "The Loves of + the Angels," a poem of exquisite tenderness and beauty. The + object of the poet is, by an allegorical medium, to shadow + out the fall of the soul from its original purity—the + loss of light and happiness which it suffers, in the pursuit + of this world's perishable pleasures—and the + punishments from conscience and Divine justice. + </p> + <p> + Soon after the death of Lord Byron, in 1824, Mr. Moore became + involved in a dispute which involved many private feelings. + The facts may be thus briefly stated:—It appears that + about two years previous to his death, Lord Byron wrote his + own Memoirs, which, according to Captain Medwin, were given + "to Moore, or Moore's little boy, at Venice," with the + observation of "Here's 2,000<i>l</i>. for you, my young + friend;" and that they were not to be published till after + his lordship's death. On the completion of the Memoirs, Lord + Byron wrote to his lady, proposing to send them for her + inspection; but she rejected the offer, desiring that they + might never appear, and finishing with a threat. Lord Byron + concluded his reply by saying, that "she might depend on + their being published;" and his lordship further says, "It + was not till after this correspondence that I made Moore the + depositary of the MS." Mr. Moore subsequently disposed of the + MS. to Mr. Murray, the bookseller, for the sum of 2,000 + guineas; but, at the anxious wish of some of Lord Byron's + relatives, the purchase-money was returned to Mr. Murray, and + the MS. was burnt. The circumstances being so recent, we do + not think it requisite to enlarge upon them. Mr. Moore has + since entered into an agreement with his publishers for a + Life of Lord Byron, and a few weeks since the first portion + of the copy was sent to the printer. + </p> + <p> + Almost simultaneous with the above affair was the publication + of Mr. Moore's "Memoirs of Captain Rock, the celebrated Irish + Chieftain,"—a work of political, humorous, and + satirical character, turning upon the wrongs and riots of + Ireland, with which, as our readers will allow, we have here + little to do. It contains great historical research, and had + its day; but the gratification in the perusal is of a very + mixed character. Its success, however, was sufficient to + induce the publication of an imitative work entitled "Captain + Rock's Letters to the King," which was "certainly not written + by Mr. Moore, to whom, while the publication was suspended, + they were so positively ascribed." + </p> + <p> + In the following year, Mr. Moore published the "Memoirs of + the Right Hon. R.B. Sheridan," having previously edited an + edition of his works. In these Memoirs, Mr. Moore has done + justice to the character of Sheridan, neither concealing his + follies and vices, nor magnifying his good qualities. We + quote a paragraph from this work for the purpose of + introducing a portion of some very beautiful lines by Mr. + Moore, which first appeared in the <i>Morning Chronicle</i>, + immediately after Sheridan's death. + </p> + <p> + "There appeared some verses at the time, which, however + intemperate in their satire and careless in their style, + came, evidently, warm from the heart of the writer, and + contained sentiments to which, even in his cooler moments he + needs not hesitate to subscribe:— + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Oh it sickens the heart to see bosoms so hollow, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + And friendships so false in the great and + high-born;— + </p> + <p> + To think what a long line of titles may follow + </p> + <p class="i2"> + The relics of him who died, friendless and lorn! + </p> + </div> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "How proud they can press to the funeral array + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Of him whom they shunn'd,in his sickness and + sorrow— + </p> + <p> + How bailiffs may seize his last blanket to-day, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Whose pall shall be held up by Nobles to-morrow!" + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + The anonymous writer thus characterises the talents of + Sheridan:— + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Was this then the fate of that high-gifted man, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + The pride of the palace, the bower, and the hall— + </p> + <p> + The orator, dramatist, minstrel,—who ran + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Through each mode of the lyre, and was master of all? + </p> + </div> + </div> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageiv-2" + name="pageiv-2"></a>[pg iv]</span> + <p> + "Whose mind was an essence, compounded, with art. + </p> + <p class="i2"> + From the finest and best of all other men's powers; + </p> + <p> + Who rul'd, like a wizard, the world of the heart, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + And could call up its sunshine, or draw down its showers; + </p> + </div> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Whose humour, as gay as the fire-fly's light, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Play'd round every subject, and shone as it play'd; + </p> + <p> + Whose wit, in the combat as gentle as bright, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade,— + </p> + </div> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Whose eloquence, brightening whatever it tried, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Whether reason or fancy, the gay or the grave, + </p> + <p> + Was as rapid as deep, and as brilliant a tide, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + As ever bore Freedom aloft on its + wave!"<a id="footnotetag1" + name="footnotetag1"></a><a href="#footnote1"><sup>1</sup></a> + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + In 1827, appeared "The Epicurean," a tale of extreme grace + and feeling, and conveying the sublime lessons of Epicurus, + in one of the most attractive of poetico-prosaic forms. In + picturesque knowledge, splendid descriptions, startling and + mysterious incidents, and intellectual riches, this work is + almost unparalleled in our language; and, observes an elegant + critic, "the narrative sweeps along, like a mild and glassy + river winding through banks of the most brilliant verdure, + sometimes sparkling and bubbling to the sunshine of fancy, + and at intervals solemnly gliding on with a deep + under-current of philosophy." + </p> + <p> + The contributions of Mr. Moore to one of the most powerful of + the London journals are too well recognised by the public to + require further than a passing notice of their being recently + published in an elegant little volume, entitled "Odes upon + Cash, Corn, Catholics, and other Matters;" and we believe + them to be entitled by their raciness and humour to a niche + in the library, beyond the destructible form of a newspaper. + </p> + <p> + In this brief Memoir, we have little more than glanced at Mr. + Moore's several works, and the periods of their publication; + although we could crowd our pages with the highest + testimonials of their poetical and literary merits. Much as + we admire "his wit, his festive merriment, and inimitable + satires, and the ingenious imagery, and the elaborate melody + and finish of every period of his prose"—we are + disposed to think him pre-eminently successful in delineating + the plaintive and pensive woes of deep and settled + melancholy: thus— + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, + </p> + <p> + While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below; + </p> + <p> + So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, + </p> + <p> + Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while. + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + We have already noticed the taste of Mr. Moore for music. + "Nor has he neglected those more solid attainments which + should ever distinguish the well-bred gentleman, for he is an + excellent general scholar, and particularly well-read in the + literature of the middle ages. His conversational powers are + great, and his modest and unassuming manners have placed him + in the highest rank of cultivated society." Although his + reputation is so well established, he speaks of himself with + his wonted modesty. "Whatever fame he might have acquired he + attributed principally to the verses which he had adapted to + the delicious strains of Irish melody. His verses, in + themselves, could boast of but little merit; but like flies + preserved in amber, they were esteemed in consequence of the + precious material by which they were surrounded." + </p> + <p> + Sheridan, in speaking of the subject of this memoir, said + "That there was no man who put so much of his heart into his + fancy as Tom Moore; that his soul seemed as if it were a + particle of fire separated from the sun; and was always + fluttering to get back to that source of light and heat." + Lord Byron, too, distinguished Moore as "a name consecrated + by unshaken public principle, and the most undoubted and + various talents." + </p> + <hr class="full" /> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="page449" name="page449"></a>[pg + 449]</span> + </p> + <h2> + INDEX. + </h2> + <hr /> + <h3> + VOL.

XII. + + +1828. + + + + +PREFACE + + +The present sheet completes the TWELFTH VOLUME OF THE MIRROR. This +circumstance alone is _typical_ of the substantial patronage which has +attended our exertions from their commencement; and may be, we hope, +anticipatory of continued success. + +Our career of six years has been subdivided into twelve volumes or +_sessions_; we have had no _recess_, but uniformly "_a house_;" and, as +members of the republic of letters, we hope to be re-elected by our +numerous constituents. To speak heroically, and as Puff says in the +Critic, to "keep it up," their approbation is + + + the air we breathe, + If we have it not, we die. + + +Although we do not presume to account for our own success, or to trace +its maintenance through all the fluctuations of six years--yet we are +prone to believe that the economy of the plan, coupled with the spirit of +curiosity which it is our aim to encourage,--have been the prime movers +of our fortunes, as they have been the pivots upon which we have +performed our half-yearly revolutions. In these we have allowed neither +autumn nor winter to impair our exertions; and, however time may have +worn otherwise with us, we still feel all the youth and freshness of +spring-tide, warmed by the genial ray of public favour. + +The spirit of curiosity to which we here allude, is thus admirably +described by Sterne:--"The love of variety, or curiosity of seeing new +things, which is the same, or at least a sister passion to it,--seems +wove into the frame of every son and daughter of Adam; we usually speak +of it as one of nature's levities, though planted within us for the solid +purposes of carrying forwards the mind to fresh enquiry and knowledge: +strip us of it, the mind (I fear) would doze for ever over the present +page; and we should all of us rest at ease with such objects as present +themselves in the parish or province where we first drew our breath." + +Such has been our feeling from the first; and in pursuing this principle, +we have been greatly encouraged by the several contributors, whose +signatures abound in every Number of THE MIRROR. To these friends we beg +thus briefly to return our sincere thanks. + +The arrangement of the present Volume, generally, accords with those of +its successful predecessors. Fact and fancy; sentiment, poetry, and +popular science; anecdote and art; love of nature and knowledge of the +world--alternate in its columns. In these several departments popular +reading has been our study. With this view, we have paid especial +attention to the domestic history--the customs, amusements, and +peculiarities--of our own country; and to such a portion of foreign +novelties as bear upon the welfare and interests of the present +generation. Economy of time, which is also economy of money or cost, has +been the ruling principle of our little literary exchequer; while our +_ways and means_ for the future are equally abundant. + +The illustrative portion, also, contains many striking novelties, which, +as identified with contemporary curiosity, or as performances of art, +will, we are persuaded, be duly appreciated. + +We abstain from further enumeration of the contents or of their +respective claims to the reader's notice. In every Number it has been our +endeavour to cater for his "amusement and instruction," so as to combine +interest and novelty--or, in a homely phrase, to make each sheet like +"_the punch of conversation_." Thus, we have spirit, volatile and fiery in +our leading articles; lemon in our pungent Notes; sugar in our +"Gatherer;" and water _quant. suff._--mixed in a form, which, like old +bowls or drinking-glasses, is variegated with figures and scenes of the +current fashion--as in our Engravings. + +But we are getting too figurative, and our Christmas fare, unlike +ourselves, is growing cold. So, indulgent reader, we promise to drink +your health and return thanks for the same in your absence; though we had +rather you were present to witness and share our exceeding great joy; and +then to commence our Thirteenth Volume. Pardon this exuberance of the +season: we reason with Falstaff:--"If then the tree may be known by the +fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then, peremptorily I speak it, there is +virtue in that Falstaff: him keep with; the rest banish." + +_Christmas Day_, 1828. + + * * * * * + + + + +[Illustration: PORTRAIT OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ.] + + +MEMOIR OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. + + +Thomas Moore, Esq. the only son of Mr. Garret Moore, formerly a merchant +in Dublin, was born May 28, 1780. He received the rudiments of an +excellent education from Mr. Samuel Whyte, of Dublin, a man of taste and +talent, known and respected as the early tutor of Sheridan; after which, +at the age of fourteen, Mr. Moore was entered a student of Trinity +College, Dublin. While at the University, he was greatly distinguished by +his enthusiastic attachment to the liberty and independence of his +country, which he more than once publicly asserted with uncommon energy +and eloquence. His classical studies being completed, in 1799, he entered +himself of the Temple, with a view to make the law his profession, and +was called to the bar. In these moments, when he was not occupied with +the dry technicalities and quibbles of legal writers, he amused himself +with translating the Odes of Anacreon, which he published with copious +notes, in 1800. Such was Mr. Moore's youthful appearance at this time, +that being at a large dinner party, and getting up to escort the ladies +to the drawing-room, a French gentleman observed, "_Ah, le petit bon +homme, qu'il s'en va_." Mr. Moore's subsequent brilliant conversation, +however, soon proved him to be, though little of stature, yet, like Pope, +"in wit, a man." + +Assuming the appropriate name of _Little_, our author published in 1801, +a volume of poems, chiefly amatory, which, though they established his +_poetical_ reputation, were severely censured for their warmth and +licentiousness. Their success, however, was very considerable, fifteen or +sixteen editions being sold within a short time. In the same year he +advertised a work entitled "Philosophy of Pleasure;" but this was never +published. + +Towards the autumn of 1803, Mr. Moore embarked for Bermuda, where he had +obtained the appointment of Registrar to the Admiralty. This was a patent +place, and of a description so unsuited to his temper of mind, that he +fulfilled the duties of it by deputy, but the profits ultimately proved +unworthy of Mr. Moore's serious attention; and we believe Mr. Moore has +suffered by the villany of this substitute, to an important amount. He +likewise visited the United States, and upon his return home, in 1806, he +published his remarks on the American character, in a work entitled +"Epistles, Odes, and other Poems." The preface to this little work +sufficiently established the talent of Mr. Moore, as a prose writer. His +opinion of the Americans is also there pretty freely expressed, and some +of the poems, like those ascribed to Little, were objectionable in a +moral point of view. The work was accordingly attacked with much severity, +by Mr. Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh Review: the irritated poet +challenged his critic, but the duel was prevented, and the pistols being +found loaded with paper pellets, the whole affair ended pleasantly enough. + +The fate of Addison, with his Countess Dowager, holding out no +encouragement for the ambitious love of Mr. Moore, he wisely and happily +allowed his good taste to regulate his choice in a wife, and some years +ago married Miss Dyke, a lady of great personal attractions, and +accomplished manners, in whose congenial society he passes much of his +time in the retirement of an elegant cottage, in Wiltshire, devoting +himself chiefly to literary pursuits. + +In 1808, Mr. Moore sent to the press "Corruption and Intolerance;" two +poems, with notes: addressed to an Englishman, by an Irishman; and in +1809, "The Sceptic," a philosophical satire. These works, of which the +first is pungently satirical, are little known; but they are worthy of +their author. They were succeeded in 1810, by "A Letter to the Roman +Catholics of Dublin." His next production, "Intercepted Letters, or the +Two-penny Post Bag, by Thomas Brown, the younger," 1812, was eagerly +perused, and fourteen editions of it were printed. Its severities on an +elevated personage and the court, will perhaps never be forgotten by the +parties. In sparkling wit, keen sarcasm, and humorous pleasantry, it is +rivalled only by another volume, entitled "The Fudge Family in Paris," +published in 1818, the hero of which is a distinguished poet, and a +zealous supporter of the present administration. To this class of Mr. +Moore's works belong his "Fables for the Holy Alliance," and "Rhymes on +the Road," which deserve, in some respect, a higher reputation than the +former volumes. + +Mr. Moore appears equally to have cultivated a taste for music as well as +for poesy; and the late Dr. Burney was perfectly astonished at his talent +which he emphatically called "peculiarly his own." In 1813, Mr. Moore's +fame was materially increased by the appearance of his exquisite songs to +Sir John Stevenson's selection of Irish Melodies. Some of these songs are +among the finest specimens of poetry in our language, and the morality of +the whole of them is unexceptionable. They have since been collected into +one volume. In 1816, he published "A Series of Sacred Songs, Duets, and +Trios," the music to which was composed and selected by himself and Sir +John Stevenson. + +In 1817, came forth his great work, on which he was known to have been +long engaged, and which if it had been his only production, would have +carried his name down to posterity as one of the first bards of his time. +"Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn," would not be an +inapplicable motto for this oriental romance, which unites the purest and +softest tenderness with the loftiest dignity, and glows in every page +with all the fervour of poetry. For the copyright of this poem he is said +to have received the sum of 3,000 guineas, and it must have proved a +source of immense profit to the publishers. + +In 1818, Mr. Moore visited his native city, Dublin, on which occasion our +poet was invited to a public dinner, which was graced by a large +assemblage of the most distinguished literary and political characters. +The Earl of Charlemont took the chair; Mr. Moore sat on his right hand, +Mr. Moore, sen. a venerable old gentleman, the father of the poet, was on +the left. + +On Lord Charlemont proposing "The living Poets of Great Britain," Mr. +Moore said-- + + "Gentlemen, notwithstanding the witty song which you have just heard, + and the flattering elevation which the author has assigned me, I + cannot allow such a mark of respect to be paid to the illustrious + names that adorn the literature of the present day, without calling + your attention awhile to the singular constellation of genius, and + asking you to dwell a little on the brightness of each "particular + star" that forms it. Can I name to you a Byron, without recalling to + your hearts recollections of all that his mighty genius has awakened + there, his energy, his burning words, his intense passion, that + disposition of fine fancy to wander only among the ruins of the heart, + to dwell in places which the fire of feeling has desolated, and like + the chestnut-tree, that grows best in volcanic soils, to luxuriate + most where conflagration of passion has left its mark? Need I mention + to you a Scott, that fertile and fascinating writer, the vegetation + of whose mind is as rapid as that of a northern summer, and as rich + as the most golden harvests of the south, whose beautiful creations + succeed each other like fruits in Armida's enchanted garden, "one + scarce is gathered ere another grows?" Shall I recall to you a Rogers, + (to me endeared by friendship as well as genius,) who has hung up his + own name on the shrine of memory among the most imperishable tablets + there. A Southey, _not the laureate_, but the author of 'Don + Roderick,' one of the noblest and most eloquent poems in any language. + A Campbell, the polished and spirited Campbell, whose song of + 'Innisfail' is the very tears of our own Irish muse, crystallized by + the touch of genius, and made eternal. A Wordsworth, a poet, even in + his puerilities, whose capacious mind, like the great pool of Norway, + draws into its vortex not only the mighty things of the deep, but its + minute weeds and refuse. A Crabbe, who has shown what the more than + galvanic power of talent can effect, by giving not only motion, but + life and soul to subjects that seemed incapable of it. I could + enumerate, gentlemen, still more, and from thence would pass with + delight to dwell upon the living poets of our own land. The dramatic + powers of a Maturin and a Shiel, the former consecrated by the + applause of a Scott and a Byron, and the latter by the tears of some + of the brightest eyes in the empire. The rich imagination of a + Philips, who has courted more than one Muse. The versatile genius of + a Morgan, who was the first that mated our sweet Irish strains with + poetry worthy of their pathos and their force. But I feel I have + already trespassed too long upon your patience and your time. I do + not regret, however, that you have deigned to listen with patience to + this humble tribute to the living masters of the English lyre, which + I, 'the meanest of the throng,' thus feebly, but heartily, have paid + them." + +Towards the close of 1822, Mr. Moore published "The Loves of the Angels," +a poem of exquisite tenderness and beauty. The object of the poet is, +by an allegorical medium, to shadow out the fall of the soul from its +original purity--the loss of light and happiness which it suffers, in the +pursuit of this world's perishable pleasures--and the punishments from +conscience and Divine justice. + +Soon after the death of Lord Byron, in 1824, Mr. Moore became involved +in a dispute which involved many private feelings. The facts may be thus +briefly stated:--It appears that about two years previous to his death, +Lord Byron wrote his own Memoirs, which, according to Captain Medwin, +were given "to Moore, or Moore's little boy, at Venice," with the +observation of "Here's 2,000_l_. for you, my young friend;" and that +they were not to be published till after his lordship's death. On the +completion of the Memoirs, Lord Byron wrote to his lady, proposing to +send them for her inspection; but she rejected the offer, desiring that +they might never appear, and finishing with a threat. Lord Byron +concluded his reply by saying, that "she might depend on their being +published;" and his lordship further says, "It was not till after this +correspondence that I made Moore the depositary of the MS." Mr. Moore +subsequently disposed of the MS. to Mr. Murray, the bookseller, for the +sum of 2,000 guineas; but, at the anxious wish of some of Lord Byron's +relatives, the purchase-money was returned to Mr. Murray, and the MS. was +burnt. The circumstances being so recent, we do not think it requisite to +enlarge upon them. Mr. Moore has since entered into an agreement with his +publishers for a Life of Lord Byron, and a few weeks since the first +portion of the copy was sent to the printer. + +Almost simultaneous with the above affair was the publication of Mr. +Moore's "Memoirs of Captain Rock, the celebrated Irish Chieftain,"--a +work of political, humorous, and satirical character, turning upon the +wrongs and riots of Ireland, with which, as our readers will allow, +we have here little to do. It contains great historical research, and +had its day; but the gratification in the perusal is of a very mixed +character. Its success, however, was sufficient to induce the publication +of an imitative work entitled "Captain Rock's Letters to the King," which +was "certainly not written by Mr. Moore, to whom, while the publication +was suspended, they were so positively ascribed." + +In the following year, Mr. Moore published the "Memoirs of the Right Hon. +R.B. Sheridan," having previously edited an edition of his works. In +these Memoirs, Mr. Moore has done justice to the character of Sheridan, +neither concealing his follies and vices, nor magnifying his good +qualities. We quote a paragraph from this work for the purpose of +introducing a portion of some very beautiful lines by Mr. Moore, which +first appeared in the _Morning Chronicle_, immediately after Sheridan's +death. + +"There appeared some verses at the time, which, however intemperate in +their satire and careless in their style, came, evidently, warm from the +heart of the writer, and contained sentiments to which, even in his +cooler moments he needs not hesitate to subscribe:-- + + "Oh it sickens the heart to see bosoms so hollow, + And friendships so false in the great and high-born;-- + To think what a long line of titles may follow + The relics of him who died, friendless and lorn! + + "How proud they can press to the funeral array + Of him whom they shunn'd,in his sickness and sorrow-- + How bailiffs may seize his last blanket to-day, + Whose pall shall be held up by Nobles to-morrow!" + + +The anonymous writer thus characterises the talents of Sheridan:-- + + + "Was this then the fate of that high-gifted man, + The pride of the palace, the bower, and the hall-- + The orator, dramatist, minstrel,--who ran + Through each mode of the lyre, and was master of all? + + "Whose mind was an essence, compounded, with art. + From the finest and best of all other men's powers; + Who rul'd, like a wizard, the world of the heart, + And could call up its sunshine, or draw down its showers; + + "Whose humour, as gay as the fire-fly's light, + Play'd round every subject, and shone as it play'd; + Whose wit, in the combat as gentle as bright, + Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade,-- + + "Whose eloquence, brightening whatever it tried, + Whether reason or fancy, the gay or the grave, + Was as rapid as deep, and as brilliant a tide, + As ever bore Freedom aloft on its wave!"[1] + + +In 1827, appeared "The Epicurean," a tale of extreme grace and feeling, +and conveying the sublime lessons of Epicurus, in one of the most +attractive of poetico-prosaic forms. In picturesque knowledge, splendid +descriptions, startling and mysterious incidents, and intellectual riches, +this work is almost unparalleled in our language; and, observes an +elegant critic, "the narrative sweeps along, like a mild and glassy river +winding through banks of the most brilliant verdure, sometimes sparkling +and bubbling to the sunshine of fancy, and at intervals solemnly gliding +on with a deep under-current of philosophy." + +The contributions of Mr. Moore to one of the most powerful of the London +journals are too well recognised by the public to require further than a +passing notice of their being recently published in an elegant little +volume, entitled "Odes upon Cash, Corn, Catholics, and other Matters;" +and we believe them to be entitled by their raciness and humour to a +niche in the library, beyond the destructible form of a newspaper. + +In this brief Memoir, we have little more than glanced at Mr. Moore's +several works, and the periods of their publication; although we could +crowd our pages with the highest testimonials of their poetical and +literary merits. Much as we admire "his wit, his festive merriment, and +inimitable satires, and the ingenious imagery, and the elaborate melody +and finish of every period of his prose"--we are disposed to think him +pre-eminently successful in delineating the plaintive and pensive woes +of deep and settled melancholy: thus-- + + + As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, + While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below; + So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, + Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while. + + +We have already noticed the taste of Mr. Moore for music. "Nor has he +neglected those more solid attainments which should ever distinguish the +well-bred gentleman, for he is an excellent general scholar, and +particularly well-read in the literature of the middle ages. His +conversational powers are great, and his modest and unassuming manners +have placed him in the highest rank of cultivated society." Although his +reputation is so well established, he speaks of himself with his wonted +modesty. "Whatever fame he might have acquired he attributed principally +to the verses which he had adapted to the delicious strains of Irish +melody. His verses, in themselves, could boast of but little merit; but +like flies preserved in amber, they were esteemed in consequence of the +precious material by which they were surrounded." + +Sheridan, in speaking of the subject of this memoir, said "That there was +no man who put so much of his heart into his fancy as Tom Moore; that his +soul seemed as if it were a particle of fire separated from the sun; and +was always fluttering to get back to that source of light and heat." Lord +Byron, too, distinguished Moore as "a name consecrated by unshaken public +principle, and the most undoubted and various talents." + + [1] Moore's Sheridan, vol. ii. p. 463. + + * * * * * + + + + +INDEX. + + +VOL.

Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/11420-8.zip b/old/11420-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9c13a49 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11420-8.zip diff --git a/old/11420-h.zip b/old/11420-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4e74267 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11420-h.zip diff --git a/old/11420-h/11420-h.htm b/old/11420-h/11420-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6fa3334 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11420-h/11420-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,2053 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta content="HTML Tidy for Linux/x86 (vers 1st January 2003), see www.w3.org" + name="generator" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" + content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Mirror of Literature, Issue 349. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + /*<![CDATA[*/ + <!-- + body {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%;} + p {text-align: justify;} + blockquote {text-align: justify;} + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {text-align: center;} + pre {font-size: 0.7em;} + + hr {text-align: center; width: 50%;} + html>body hr {margin-right: 25%; margin-left: 25%; width: 50%;} + hr.full {width: 100%;} + html>body hr.full {margin-right: 0%; margin-left: 0%; width: 100%;} + + .note, .footnote {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-size: 0.9em;} + + span.pagenum {position: absolute; left: 1%; right: 91%; font-size: 8pt;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem p {margin: 0; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem p.i2 {margin-left: 1em;} + .poem p.i4 {margin-left: 2em;} + .poem p.i6 {margin-left: 3em;} + .poem p.i8 {margin-left: 4em;} + + .figure {padding: 1em; margin: 0; text-align: center; font-size: 0.8em; margin: auto;} + .figure img {border: none;} + .figure p + --> + /*]]>*/ + </style> + </head> + <body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and +Instruction., by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

To speak heroically, and as Puff says in the + Critic, to "keep it up," their approbation is + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + the air we breathe, + </p> + <p> + If we have it not, we die. + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + Although we do not presume to account for our own success, or + to trace its maintenance through all the fluctuations of six + years—yet we are prone to believe that the economy of + the plan, coupled with the spirit of curiosity which it is + our aim to encourage,—have been the prime movers of our + fortunes, as they have been the pivots upon which we have + performed our half-yearly revolutions. In these we have + allowed neither autumn nor winter to impair our exertions; + and, however time may have worn otherwise with us, we still + feel all the youth and freshness of spring-tide, warmed by + the genial ray of public favour. + </p> + <p> + The spirit of curiosity to which we here allude, is thus + admirably described by Sterne:—"The love of variety, or + curiosity of seeing new things, which is the same, or at + least a sister passion to it,—seems wove into the frame + of every son and daughter of Adam; we usually speak of it as + one of nature's levities, though planted within us for the + solid purposes of carrying forwards the mind to fresh enquiry + and knowledge: strip us of it, the mind (I fear) would doze + for ever over the present page; and we should all of us rest + at ease with such objects as present themselves in the parish + or province where we first drew our breath." + </p> + <p> + Such has been our feeling from the first; and in pursuing + this principle, we have been greatly encouraged by the + several contributors, whose signatures abound in every Number + of THE MIRROR. To these friends we beg thus briefly to return + our sincere thanks. + </p> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageiv" name="pageiv"></a>[pg + iv]</span> The arrangement of the present Volume, generally, + accords with those of its successful predecessors. Fact and + fancy; sentiment, poetry, and popular science; anecdote and + art; love of nature and knowledge of the + world—alternate in its columns. In these several + departments popular reading has been our study. With this + view, we have paid especial attention to the domestic + history—the customs, amusements, and + peculiarities—of our own country; and to such a portion + of foreign novelties as bear upon the welfare and interests + of the present generation. Economy of time, which is also + economy of money or cost, has been the ruling principle of + our little literary exchequer; while our <i>ways and + means</i> for the future are equally abundant. + </p> + <p> + The illustrative portion, also, contains many striking + novelties, which, as identified with contemporary curiosity, + or as performances of art, will, we are persuaded, be duly + appreciated. + </p> + <p> + We abstain from further enumeration of the contents or of + their respective claims to the reader's notice. In every + Number it has been our endeavour to cater for his "amusement + and instruction," so as to combine interest and + novelty—or, in a homely phrase, to make each sheet like + "<i>the punch of conversation</i>." Thus, we have spirit, + volatile and fiery in our leading articles; lemon in our + pungent Notes; sugar in our "Gatherer;" and water <i>quant. + suff.</i>—mixed in a form, which, like old bowls or + drinking-glasses, is variegated with figures and scenes of + the current fashion—as in our Engravings. + </p> + <p> + But we are getting too figurative, and our Christmas fare, + unlike ourselves, is growing cold. So, indulgent reader, we + promise to drink your health and return thanks for the same + in your absence; though we had rather you were present to + witness and share our exceeding great joy; and then to + commence our Thirteenth Volume. Pardon this exuberance of the + season: we reason with Falstaff:—"If then the tree may + be known by the fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then, + peremptorily I speak it, there is virtue in that Falstaff: + him keep with; the rest banish." + </p> + <p> + <i>Christmas Day</i>, 1828. + </p> + <hr /> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pagei-2" name="pagei-2"></a>[pg + i]</span> + </p> + <div class="figure" style="width: 100%;"> + <a href="images/349-1.png"><img width="100%" + src="images/349-1.png" + alt="Portrait of Thomas Moore, Esq." /></a> + </div> + <h3> + MEMOIR OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. + </h3> + <p> + Thomas Moore, Esq. the only son of Mr. Garret Moore, formerly + a merchant in Dublin, was born May 28, 1780. He received the + rudiments of an excellent education from Mr. Samuel Whyte, of + Dublin, a man of taste and talent, known and respected as the + early tutor of Sheridan; after which, at the age of fourteen, + Mr. Moore was entered a student of Trinity College, Dublin. + While at the University, he was greatly distinguished by his + enthusiastic attachment to the liberty and independence of + his country, which he more than once publicly asserted with + uncommon energy and eloquence. His classical studies being + completed, in 1799, he entered himself of the Temple, with a + view to make the law his profession, and was called to the + bar. In these moments, when he was not occupied with the dry + technicalities and quibbles of legal writers, he amused + himself with translating the Odes of Anacreon, which he + published with copious notes, in 1800. Such was Mr. Moore's + youthful appearance at this time, that being at a large + dinner party, and getting up to escort the ladies to the + drawing-room, a French gentleman observed, "<i>Ah, le petit + bon homme, qu'il s'en va</i>." Mr. Moore's subsequent + brilliant conversation, however, soon proved him to be, + though little of stature, yet, like Pope, "in wit, a man." + </p> + <p> + Assuming the appropriate name of <i>Little</i>, our author + published in 1801, a volume of poems, chiefly amatory, which, + though they established his <i>poetical</i> reputation, were + severely censured for their warmth and licentiousness. Their + success, however, was very considerable, fifteen or sixteen + editions being sold within a short time. In the same year he + advertised a work entitled "Philosophy of Pleasure;" but this + was never published. + </p> + <p> + Towards the autumn of 1803, Mr. Moore embarked for Bermuda, + where he had obtained the appointment of Registrar to the + Admiralty. This was a patent place, and of a description so + unsuited to his temper of mind, that he fulfilled the duties + of it by deputy, but the profits ultimately proved unworthy + of Mr. Moore's serious attention; and we believe Mr. Moore + has suffered by the villany of this substitute, to an + important amount. He likewise visited the United States, and + upon his return home, in 1806, he published his remarks on + the American character, in a work entitled "Epistles, Odes, + and other Poems." The preface to this little work + sufficiently established the talent of Mr. Moore, as a prose + writer. His opinion of the Americans is also there pretty + freely expressed, and some of the poems, like those ascribed + to Little, were objectionable in a moral point of view. The + work was accordingly attacked with much severity, by Mr. + Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh Review: the irritated + poet challenged his critic, but the duel was prevented, and + the pistols being found loaded with paper pellets, the whole + affair ended pleasantly enough. + </p> + <p> + The fate of Addison, with his Countess Dowager, holding out + no encouragement for the ambitious love of Mr. Moore, he + wisely and happily allowed his good taste to regulate his + choice in a wife, and some years ago married Miss Dyke, a + lady of great personal attractions, and accomplished manners, + in whose congenial society he passes much of his time in the + retirement of an elegant cottage, in Wiltshire, devoting + himself chiefly to literary pursuits. + </p> + <p> + In 1808, Mr. Moore sent to the press "Corruption and + Intolerance;" two poems, with notes: addressed to an + Englishman, by an Irishman; and in 1809, "The Sceptic," a + philosophical satire. These works, of + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageii-2" + name="pageii-2"></a>[pg ii]</span> which the first is + pungently satirical, are little known; but they are worthy of + their author. They were succeeded in 1810, by "A Letter to + the Roman Catholics of Dublin." His next production, + "Intercepted Letters, or the Two-penny Post Bag, by Thomas + Brown, the younger," 1812, was eagerly perused, and fourteen + editions of it were printed. Its severities on an elevated + personage and the court, will perhaps never be forgotten by + the parties. In sparkling wit, keen sarcasm, and humorous + pleasantry, it is rivalled only by another volume, entitled + "The Fudge Family in Paris," published in 1818, the hero of + which is a distinguished poet, and a zealous supporter of the + present administration. To this class of Mr. Moore's works + belong his "Fables for the Holy Alliance," and "Rhymes on the + Road," which deserve, in some respect, a higher reputation + than the former volumes. + </p> + <p> + Mr. Moore appears equally to have cultivated a taste for + music as well as for poesy; and the late Dr. Burney was + perfectly astonished at his talent which he emphatically + called "peculiarly his own." In 1813, Mr. Moore's fame was + materially increased by the appearance of his exquisite songs + to Sir John Stevenson's selection of Irish Melodies. Some of + these songs are among the finest specimens of poetry in our + language, and the morality of the whole of them is + unexceptionable. They have since been collected into one + volume. In 1816, he published "A Series of Sacred Songs, + Duets, and Trios," the music to which was composed and + selected by himself and Sir John Stevenson. + </p> + <p> + In 1817, came forth his great work, on which he was known to + have been long engaged, and which if it had been his only + production, would have carried his name down to posterity as + one of the first bards of his time. "Thoughts that breathe, + and words that burn," would not be an inapplicable motto for + this oriental romance, which unites the purest and softest + tenderness with the loftiest dignity, and glows in every page + with all the fervour of poetry. For the copyright of this + poem he is said to have received the sum of 3,000 guineas, + and it must have proved a source of immense profit to the + publishers. + </p> + <p> + In 1818, Mr. Moore visited his native city, Dublin, on which + occasion our poet was invited to a public dinner, which was + graced by a large assemblage of the most distinguished + literary and political characters. The Earl of Charlemont + took the chair; Mr. Moore sat on his right hand, Mr. Moore, + sen. a venerable old gentleman, the father of the poet, was + on the left. + </p> + <p> + On Lord Charlemont proposing "The living Poets of Great + Britain," Mr. Moore said— + </p> + <blockquote> + "Gentlemen, notwithstanding the witty song which you have + just heard, and the flattering elevation which the author has + assigned me, I cannot allow such a mark of respect to be paid + to the illustrious names that adorn the literature of the + present day, without calling your attention awhile to the + singular constellation of genius, and asking you to dwell a + little on the brightness of each "particular star" that forms + it. Can I name to you a Byron, without recalling to your + hearts recollections of all that his mighty genius has + awakened there, his energy, his burning words, his intense + passion, that disposition of fine fancy to wander only among + the ruins of the heart, to dwell in places which the fire of + feeling has desolated, and like the chestnut-tree, that grows + best in volcanic soils, to luxuriate most where conflagration + of passion has left its mark? Need I mention to you a Scott, + that fertile and fascinating writer, the vegetation of whose + mind is as rapid as that of a northern summer, and as rich as + the most golden harvests of the south, whose beautiful + creations succeed each other like fruits in Armida's + enchanted garden, "one scarce is gathered ere another grows?" + Shall I recall to you a Rogers, (to me endeared by friendship + as well as genius,) who has hung up his own name on the + shrine of memory among the most imperishable tablets there. A + Southey, <i>not the laureate</i>, but the author of 'Don + Roderick,' one of the noblest and most eloquent poems in any + language. A Campbell, the polished and spirited Campbell, + whose song of 'Innisfail' is the very tears of our own Irish + muse, crystallized by the touch of genius, and made eternal. + A Wordsworth, a poet, even in his puerilities, whose + capacious mind, like the great pool of Norway, draws into its + vortex not only the mighty things of the deep, but its minute + weeds and refuse. A Crabbe, who has shown what the more than + galvanic power of talent can effect, by giving not only + motion, but life and soul to subjects that seemed incapable + of it. I could enumerate, gentlemen, still more, and from + thence would pass with delight to dwell upon the living poets + of our own land. The dramatic powers of a Maturin and a + Shiel, the former consecrated by the applause of a Scott and + a Byron, and the latter by the tears of some of the brightest + eyes in the empire. The rich imagination of a Philips, who + has courted more than one Muse. The versatile genius of a + Morgan, who was the first that mated our sweet Irish strains + with poetry worthy of their pathos and their force. But I + feel I have already trespassed too long upon your patience + and your time. + </blockquote> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageiii-2" + name="pageiii-2"></a>[pg iii]</span> + </p> + <p> + Towards the close of 1822, Mr. Moore published "The Loves of + the Angels," a poem of exquisite tenderness and beauty. The + object of the poet is, by an allegorical medium, to shadow + out the fall of the soul from its original purity—the + loss of light and happiness which it suffers, in the pursuit + of this world's perishable pleasures—and the + punishments from conscience and Divine justice. + </p> + <p> + Soon after the death of Lord Byron, in 1824, Mr. Moore became + involved in a dispute which involved many private feelings. + The facts may be thus briefly stated:—It appears that + about two years previous to his death, Lord Byron wrote his + own Memoirs, which, according to Captain Medwin, were given + "to Moore, or Moore's little boy, at Venice," with the + observation of "Here's 2,000<i>l</i>. for you, my young + friend;" and that they were not to be published till after + his lordship's death. On the completion of the Memoirs, Lord + Byron wrote to his lady, proposing to send them for her + inspection; but she rejected the offer, desiring that they + might never appear, and finishing with a threat. Lord Byron + concluded his reply by saying, that "she might depend on + their being published;" and his lordship further says, "It + was not till after this correspondence that I made Moore the + depositary of the MS." Mr. Moore subsequently disposed of the + MS. to Mr. Murray, the bookseller, for the sum of 2,000 + guineas; but, at the anxious wish of some of Lord Byron's + relatives, the purchase-money was returned to Mr. Murray, and + the MS. was burnt. The circumstances being so recent, we do + not think it requisite to enlarge upon them. Mr. Moore has + since entered into an agreement with his publishers for a + Life of Lord Byron, and a few weeks since the first portion + of the copy was sent to the printer. + </p> + <p> + Almost simultaneous with the above affair was the publication + of Mr. Moore's "Memoirs of Captain Rock, the celebrated Irish + Chieftain,"—a work of political, humorous, and + satirical character, turning upon the wrongs and riots of + Ireland, with which, as our readers will allow, we have here + little to do. It contains great historical research, and had + its day; but the gratification in the perusal is of a very + mixed character. Its success, however, was sufficient to + induce the publication of an imitative work entitled "Captain + Rock's Letters to the King," which was "certainly not written + by Mr. Moore, to whom, while the publication was suspended, + they were so positively ascribed." + </p> + <p> + In the following year, Mr. Moore published the "Memoirs of + the Right Hon. R.B. Sheridan," having previously edited an + edition of his works. In these Memoirs, Mr. Moore has done + justice to the character of Sheridan, neither concealing his + follies and vices, nor magnifying his good qualities. We + quote a paragraph from this work for the purpose of + introducing a portion of some very beautiful lines by Mr. + Moore, which first appeared in the <i>Morning Chronicle</i>, + immediately after Sheridan's death. + </p> + <p> + "There appeared some verses at the time, which, however + intemperate in their satire and careless in their style, + came, evidently, warm from the heart of the writer, and + contained sentiments to which, even in his cooler moments he + needs not hesitate to subscribe:— + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Oh it sickens the heart to see bosoms so hollow, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + And friendships so false in the great and + high-born;— + </p> + <p> + To think what a long line of titles may follow + </p> + <p class="i2"> + The relics of him who died, friendless and lorn! + </p> + </div> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "How proud they can press to the funeral array + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Of him whom they shunn'd,in his sickness and + sorrow— + </p> + <p> + How bailiffs may seize his last blanket to-day, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Whose pall shall be held up by Nobles to-morrow!" + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + The anonymous writer thus characterises the talents of + Sheridan:— + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Was this then the fate of that high-gifted man, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + The pride of the palace, the bower, and the hall— + </p> + <p> + The orator, dramatist, minstrel,—who ran + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Through each mode of the lyre, and was master of all? + </p> + </div> + </div> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="pageiv-2" + name="pageiv-2"></a>[pg iv]</span> + <p> + "Whose mind was an essence, compounded, with art. + </p> + <p class="i2"> + From the finest and best of all other men's powers; + </p> + <p> + Who rul'd, like a wizard, the world of the heart, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + And could call up its sunshine, or draw down its showers; + </p> + </div> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Whose humour, as gay as the fire-fly's light, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Play'd round every subject, and shone as it play'd; + </p> + <p> + Whose wit, in the combat as gentle as bright, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade,— + </p> + </div> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + "Whose eloquence, brightening whatever it tried, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + Whether reason or fancy, the gay or the grave, + </p> + <p> + Was as rapid as deep, and as brilliant a tide, + </p> + <p class="i2"> + As ever bore Freedom aloft on its + wave!"<a id="footnotetag1" + name="footnotetag1"></a><a href="#footnote1"><sup>1</sup></a> + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + In 1827, appeared "The Epicurean," a tale of extreme grace + and feeling, and conveying the sublime lessons of Epicurus, + in one of the most attractive of poetico-prosaic forms. In + picturesque knowledge, splendid descriptions, startling and + mysterious incidents, and intellectual riches, this work is + almost unparalleled in our language; and, observes an elegant + critic, "the narrative sweeps along, like a mild and glassy + river winding through banks of the most brilliant verdure, + sometimes sparkling and bubbling to the sunshine of fancy, + and at intervals solemnly gliding on with a deep + under-current of philosophy." + </p> + <p> + The contributions of Mr. Moore to one of the most powerful of + the London journals are too well recognised by the public to + require further than a passing notice of their being recently + published in an elegant little volume, entitled "Odes upon + Cash, Corn, Catholics, and other Matters;" and we believe + them to be entitled by their raciness and humour to a niche + in the library, beyond the destructible form of a newspaper. + </p> + <p> + In this brief Memoir, we have little more than glanced at Mr. + Moore's several works, and the periods of their publication; + although we could crowd our pages with the highest + testimonials of their poetical and literary merits. Much as + we admire "his wit, his festive merriment, and inimitable + satires, and the ingenious imagery, and the elaborate melody + and finish of every period of his prose"—we are + disposed to think him pre-eminently successful in delineating + the plaintive and pensive woes of deep and settled + melancholy: thus— + </p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p> + As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, + </p> + <p> + While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below; + </p> + <p> + So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, + </p> + <p> + Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while. + </p> + </div> + </div> + <p> + We have already noticed the taste of Mr. Moore for music. + "Nor has he neglected those more solid attainments which + should ever distinguish the well-bred gentleman, for he is an + excellent general scholar, and particularly well-read in the + literature of the middle ages. His conversational powers are + great, and his modest and unassuming manners have placed him + in the highest rank of cultivated society." Although his + reputation is so well established, he speaks of himself with + his wonted modesty. "Whatever fame he might have acquired he + attributed principally to the verses which he had adapted to + the delicious strains of Irish melody. His verses, in + themselves, could boast of but little merit; but like flies + preserved in amber, they were esteemed in consequence of the + precious material by which they were surrounded." + </p> + <p> + Sheridan, in speaking of the subject of this memoir, said + "That there was no man who put so much of his heart into his + fancy as Tom Moore; that his soul seemed as if it were a + particle of fire separated from the sun; and was always + fluttering to get back to that source of light and heat." + Lord Byron, too, distinguished Moore as "a name consecrated + by unshaken public principle, and the most undoubted and + various talents." + </p> + <hr class="full" /> + <p> + <span class="pagenum"><a id="page449" name="page449"></a>[pg + 449]</span> + </p> + <h2> + INDEX. + </h2> + <hr /> + <h3> + VOL.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + + </body> +</html> diff --git a/old/11420-h/images/349-1.png b/old/11420-h/images/349-1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..94b68e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11420-h/images/349-1.png diff --git a/old/11420.txt b/old/11420.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6b127cb --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11420.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1699 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and +Instruction, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

XII. + + +1828. + + + + +PREFACE + + +The present sheet completes the TWELFTH VOLUME OF THE MIRROR. This +circumstance alone is _typical_ of the substantial patronage which has +attended our exertions from their commencement; and may be, we hope, +anticipatory of continued success. + +Our career of six years has been subdivided into twelve volumes or +_sessions_; we have had no _recess_, but uniformly "_a house_;" and, as +members of the republic of letters, we hope to be re-elected by our +numerous constituents. To speak heroically, and as Puff says in the +Critic, to "keep it up," their approbation is + + + the air we breathe, + If we have it not, we die. + + +Although we do not presume to account for our own success, or to trace +its maintenance through all the fluctuations of six years--yet we are +prone to believe that the economy of the plan, coupled with the spirit of +curiosity which it is our aim to encourage,--have been the prime movers +of our fortunes, as they have been the pivots upon which we have +performed our half-yearly revolutions. In these we have allowed neither +autumn nor winter to impair our exertions; and, however time may have +worn otherwise with us, we still feel all the youth and freshness of +spring-tide, warmed by the genial ray of public favour. + +The spirit of curiosity to which we here allude, is thus admirably +described by Sterne:--"The love of variety, or curiosity of seeing new +things, which is the same, or at least a sister passion to it,--seems +wove into the frame of every son and daughter of Adam; we usually speak +of it as one of nature's levities, though planted within us for the solid +purposes of carrying forwards the mind to fresh enquiry and knowledge: +strip us of it, the mind (I fear) would doze for ever over the present +page; and we should all of us rest at ease with such objects as present +themselves in the parish or province where we first drew our breath." + +Such has been our feeling from the first; and in pursuing this principle, +we have been greatly encouraged by the several contributors, whose +signatures abound in every Number of THE MIRROR. To these friends we beg +thus briefly to return our sincere thanks. + +The arrangement of the present Volume, generally, accords with those of +its successful predecessors. Fact and fancy; sentiment, poetry, and +popular science; anecdote and art; love of nature and knowledge of the +world--alternate in its columns. In these several departments popular +reading has been our study. With this view, we have paid especial +attention to the domestic history--the customs, amusements, and +peculiarities--of our own country; and to such a portion of foreign +novelties as bear upon the welfare and interests of the present +generation. Economy of time, which is also economy of money or cost, has +been the ruling principle of our little literary exchequer; while our +_ways and means_ for the future are equally abundant. + +The illustrative portion, also, contains many striking novelties, which, +as identified with contemporary curiosity, or as performances of art, +will, we are persuaded, be duly appreciated. + +We abstain from further enumeration of the contents or of their +respective claims to the reader's notice. In every Number it has been our +endeavour to cater for his "amusement and instruction," so as to combine +interest and novelty--or, in a homely phrase, to make each sheet like +"_the punch of conversation_." Thus, we have spirit, volatile and fiery in +our leading articles; lemon in our pungent Notes; sugar in our +"Gatherer;" and water _quant. suff._--mixed in a form, which, like old +bowls or drinking-glasses, is variegated with figures and scenes of the +current fashion--as in our Engravings. + +But we are getting too figurative, and our Christmas fare, unlike +ourselves, is growing cold. So, indulgent reader, we promise to drink +your health and return thanks for the same in your absence; though we had +rather you were present to witness and share our exceeding great joy; and +then to commence our Thirteenth Volume. Pardon this exuberance of the +season: we reason with Falstaff:--"If then the tree may be known by the +fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then, peremptorily I speak it, there is +virtue in that Falstaff: him keep with; the rest banish." + +_Christmas Day_, 1828. + + * * * * * + + + + +[Illustration: PORTRAIT OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ.] + + +MEMOIR OF THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. + + +Thomas Moore, Esq. the only son of Mr. Garret Moore, formerly a merchant +in Dublin, was born May 28, 1780. He received the rudiments of an +excellent education from Mr. Samuel Whyte, of Dublin, a man of taste and +talent, known and respected as the early tutor of Sheridan; after which, +at the age of fourteen, Mr. Moore was entered a student of Trinity +College, Dublin. While at the University, he was greatly distinguished by +his enthusiastic attachment to the liberty and independence of his +country, which he more than once publicly asserted with uncommon energy +and eloquence. His classical studies being completed, in 1799, he entered +himself of the Temple, with a view to make the law his profession, and +was called to the bar. In these moments, when he was not occupied with +the dry technicalities and quibbles of legal writers, he amused himself +with translating the Odes of Anacreon, which he published with copious +notes, in 1800. Such was Mr. Moore's youthful appearance at this time, +that being at a large dinner party, and getting up to escort the ladies +to the drawing-room, a French gentleman observed, "_Ah, le petit bon +homme, qu'il s'en va_." Mr. Moore's subsequent brilliant conversation, +however, soon proved him to be, though little of stature, yet, like Pope, +"in wit, a man." + +Assuming the appropriate name of _Little_, our author published in 1801, +a volume of poems, chiefly amatory, which, though they established his +_poetical_ reputation, were severely censured for their warmth and +licentiousness. Their success, however, was very considerable, fifteen or +sixteen editions being sold within a short time. In the same year he +advertised a work entitled "Philosophy of Pleasure;" but this was never +published. + +Towards the autumn of 1803, Mr. Moore embarked for Bermuda, where he had +obtained the appointment of Registrar to the Admiralty. This was a patent +place, and of a description so unsuited to his temper of mind, that he +fulfilled the duties of it by deputy, but the profits ultimately proved +unworthy of Mr. Moore's serious attention; and we believe Mr. Moore has +suffered by the villany of this substitute, to an important amount. He +likewise visited the United States, and upon his return home, in 1806, he +published his remarks on the American character, in a work entitled +"Epistles, Odes, and other Poems." The preface to this little work +sufficiently established the talent of Mr. Moore, as a prose writer. His +opinion of the Americans is also there pretty freely expressed, and some +of the poems, like those ascribed to Little, were objectionable in a +moral point of view. The work was accordingly attacked with much severity, +by Mr. Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh Review: the irritated poet +challenged his critic, but the duel was prevented, and the pistols being +found loaded with paper pellets, the whole affair ended pleasantly enough. + +The fate of Addison, with his Countess Dowager, holding out no +encouragement for the ambitious love of Mr. Moore, he wisely and happily +allowed his good taste to regulate his choice in a wife, and some years +ago married Miss Dyke, a lady of great personal attractions, and +accomplished manners, in whose congenial society he passes much of his +time in the retirement of an elegant cottage, in Wiltshire, devoting +himself chiefly to literary pursuits. + +In 1808, Mr. Moore sent to the press "Corruption and Intolerance;" two +poems, with notes: addressed to an Englishman, by an Irishman; and in +1809, "The Sceptic," a philosophical satire. These works, of which the +first is pungently satirical, are little known; but they are worthy of +their author. They were succeeded in 1810, by "A Letter to the Roman +Catholics of Dublin." His next production, "Intercepted Letters, or the +Two-penny Post Bag, by Thomas Brown, the younger," 1812, was eagerly +perused, and fourteen editions of it were printed. Its severities on an +elevated personage and the court, will perhaps never be forgotten by the +parties. In sparkling wit, keen sarcasm, and humorous pleasantry, it is +rivalled only by another volume, entitled "The Fudge Family in Paris," +published in 1818, the hero of which is a distinguished poet, and a +zealous supporter of the present administration. To this class of Mr. +Moore's works belong his "Fables for the Holy Alliance," and "Rhymes on +the Road," which deserve, in some respect, a higher reputation than the +former volumes. + +Mr. Moore appears equally to have cultivated a taste for music as well as +for poesy; and the late Dr. Burney was perfectly astonished at his talent +which he emphatically called "peculiarly his own." In 1813, Mr. Moore's +fame was materially increased by the appearance of his exquisite songs to +Sir John Stevenson's selection of Irish Melodies. Some of these songs are +among the finest specimens of poetry in our language, and the morality of +the whole of them is unexceptionable. They have since been collected into +one volume. In 1816, he published "A Series of Sacred Songs, Duets, and +Trios," the music to which was composed and selected by himself and Sir +John Stevenson. + +In 1817, came forth his great work, on which he was known to have been +long engaged, and which if it had been his only production, would have +carried his name down to posterity as one of the first bards of his time. +"Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn," would not be an +inapplicable motto for this oriental romance, which unites the purest and +softest tenderness with the loftiest dignity, and glows in every page +with all the fervour of poetry. For the copyright of this poem he is said +to have received the sum of 3,000 guineas, and it must have proved a +source of immense profit to the publishers. + +In 1818, Mr. Moore visited his native city, Dublin, on which occasion our +poet was invited to a public dinner, which was graced by a large +assemblage of the most distinguished literary and political characters. +The Earl of Charlemont took the chair; Mr. Moore sat on his right hand, +Mr. Moore, sen. a venerable old gentleman, the father of the poet, was on +the left. + +On Lord Charlemont proposing "The living Poets of Great Britain," Mr. +Moore said-- + + "Gentlemen, notwithstanding the witty song which you have just heard, + and the flattering elevation which the author has assigned me, I + cannot allow such a mark of respect to be paid to the illustrious + names that adorn the literature of the present day, without calling + your attention awhile to the singular constellation of genius, and + asking you to dwell a little on the brightness of each "particular + star" that forms it. Can I name to you a Byron, without recalling to + your hearts recollections of all that his mighty genius has awakened + there, his energy, his burning words, his intense passion, that + disposition of fine fancy to wander only among the ruins of the heart, + to dwell in places which the fire of feeling has desolated, and like + the chestnut-tree, that grows best in volcanic soils, to luxuriate + most where conflagration of passion has left its mark? Need I mention + to you a Scott, that fertile and fascinating writer, the vegetation + of whose mind is as rapid as that of a northern summer, and as rich + as the most golden harvests of the south, whose beautiful creations + succeed each other like fruits in Armida's enchanted garden, "one + scarce is gathered ere another grows?" Shall I recall to you a Rogers, + (to me endeared by friendship as well as genius,) who has hung up his + own name on the shrine of memory among the most imperishable tablets + there. A Southey, _not the laureate_, but the author of 'Don + Roderick,' one of the noblest and most eloquent poems in any language. + A Campbell, the polished and spirited Campbell, whose song of + 'Innisfail' is the very tears of our own Irish muse, crystallized by + the touch of genius, and made eternal. A Wordsworth, a poet, even in + his puerilities, whose capacious mind, like the great pool of Norway, + draws into its vortex not only the mighty things of the deep, but its + minute weeds and refuse. A Crabbe, who has shown what the more than + galvanic power of talent can effect, by giving not only motion, but + life and soul to subjects that seemed incapable of it. I could + enumerate, gentlemen, still more, and from thence would pass with + delight to dwell upon the living poets of our own land. The dramatic + powers of a Maturin and a Shiel, the former consecrated by the + applause of a Scott and a Byron, and the latter by the tears of some + of the brightest eyes in the empire. The rich imagination of a + Philips, who has courted more than one Muse. The versatile genius of + a Morgan, who was the first that mated our sweet Irish strains with + poetry worthy of their pathos and their force. But I feel I have + already trespassed too long upon your patience and your time. I do + not regret, however, that you have deigned to listen with patience to + this humble tribute to the living masters of the English lyre, which + I, 'the meanest of the throng,' thus feebly, but heartily, have paid + them." + +Towards the close of 1822, Mr. Moore published "The Loves of the Angels," +a poem of exquisite tenderness and beauty. The object of the poet is, +by an allegorical medium, to shadow out the fall of the soul from its +original purity--the loss of light and happiness which it suffers, in the +pursuit of this world's perishable pleasures--and the punishments from +conscience and Divine justice. + +Soon after the death of Lord Byron, in 1824, Mr. Moore became involved +in a dispute which involved many private feelings. The facts may be thus +briefly stated:--It appears that about two years previous to his death, +Lord Byron wrote his own Memoirs, which, according to Captain Medwin, +were given "to Moore, or Moore's little boy, at Venice," with the +observation of "Here's 2,000_l_. for you, my young friend;" and that +they were not to be published till after his lordship's death. On the +completion of the Memoirs, Lord Byron wrote to his lady, proposing to +send them for her inspection; but she rejected the offer, desiring that +they might never appear, and finishing with a threat. Lord Byron +concluded his reply by saying, that "she might depend on their being +published;" and his lordship further says, "It was not till after this +correspondence that I made Moore the depositary of the MS." Mr. Moore +subsequently disposed of the MS. to Mr. Murray, the bookseller, for the +sum of 2,000 guineas; but, at the anxious wish of some of Lord Byron's +relatives, the purchase-money was returned to Mr. Murray, and the MS. was +burnt. The circumstances being so recent, we do not think it requisite to +enlarge upon them. Mr. Moore has since entered into an agreement with his +publishers for a Life of Lord Byron, and a few weeks since the first +portion of the copy was sent to the printer. + +Almost simultaneous with the above affair was the publication of Mr. +Moore's "Memoirs of Captain Rock, the celebrated Irish Chieftain,"--a +work of political, humorous, and satirical character, turning upon the +wrongs and riots of Ireland, with which, as our readers will allow, +we have here little to do. It contains great historical research, and +had its day; but the gratification in the perusal is of a very mixed +character. Its success, however, was sufficient to induce the publication +of an imitative work entitled "Captain Rock's Letters to the King," which +was "certainly not written by Mr. Moore, to whom, while the publication +was suspended, they were so positively ascribed." + +In the following year, Mr. Moore published the "Memoirs of the Right Hon. +R.B. Sheridan," having previously edited an edition of his works. In +these Memoirs, Mr. Moore has done justice to the character of Sheridan, +neither concealing his follies and vices, nor magnifying his good +qualities. We quote a paragraph from this work for the purpose of +introducing a portion of some very beautiful lines by Mr. Moore, which +first appeared in the _Morning Chronicle_, immediately after Sheridan's +death. + +"There appeared some verses at the time, which, however intemperate in +their satire and careless in their style, came, evidently, warm from the +heart of the writer, and contained sentiments to which, even in his +cooler moments he needs not hesitate to subscribe:-- + + "Oh it sickens the heart to see bosoms so hollow, + And friendships so false in the great and high-born;-- + To think what a long line of titles may follow + The relics of him who died, friendless and lorn! + + "How proud they can press to the funeral array + Of him whom they shunn'd,in his sickness and sorrow-- + How bailiffs may seize his last blanket to-day, + Whose pall shall be held up by Nobles to-morrow!" + + +The anonymous writer thus characterises the talents of Sheridan:-- + + + "Was this then the fate of that high-gifted man, + The pride of the palace, the bower, and the hall-- + The orator, dramatist, minstrel,--who ran + Through each mode of the lyre, and was master of all? + + "Whose mind was an essence, compounded, with art. + From the finest and best of all other men's powers; + Who rul'd, like a wizard, the world of the heart, + And could call up its sunshine, or draw down its showers; + + "Whose humour, as gay as the fire-fly's light, + Play'd round every subject, and shone as it play'd; + Whose wit, in the combat as gentle as bright, + Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade,-- + + "Whose eloquence, brightening whatever it tried, + Whether reason or fancy, the gay or the grave, + Was as rapid as deep, and as brilliant a tide, + As ever bore Freedom aloft on its wave!"[1] + + +In 1827, appeared "The Epicurean," a tale of extreme grace and feeling, +and conveying the sublime lessons of Epicurus, in one of the most +attractive of poetico-prosaic forms. In picturesque knowledge, splendid +descriptions, startling and mysterious incidents, and intellectual riches, +this work is almost unparalleled in our language; and, observes an +elegant critic, "the narrative sweeps along, like a mild and glassy river +winding through banks of the most brilliant verdure, sometimes sparkling +and bubbling to the sunshine of fancy, and at intervals solemnly gliding +on with a deep under-current of philosophy." + +The contributions of Mr. Moore to one of the most powerful of the London +journals are too well recognised by the public to require further than a +passing notice of their being recently published in an elegant little +volume, entitled "Odes upon Cash, Corn, Catholics, and other Matters;" +and we believe them to be entitled by their raciness and humour to a +niche in the library, beyond the destructible form of a newspaper. + +In this brief Memoir, we have little more than glanced at Mr. Moore's +several works, and the periods of their publication; although we could +crowd our pages with the highest testimonials of their poetical and +literary merits. Much as we admire "his wit, his festive merriment, and +inimitable satires, and the ingenious imagery, and the elaborate melody +and finish of every period of his prose"--we are disposed to think him +pre-eminently successful in delineating the plaintive and pensive woes +of deep and settled melancholy: thus-- + + + As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, + While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below; + So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, + Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while. + + +We have already noticed the taste of Mr. Moore for music. "Nor has he +neglected those more solid attainments which should ever distinguish the +well-bred gentleman, for he is an excellent general scholar, and +particularly well-read in the literature of the middle ages. His +conversational powers are great, and his modest and unassuming manners +have placed him in the highest rank of cultivated society." Although his +reputation is so well established, he speaks of himself with his wonted +modesty. "Whatever fame he might have acquired he attributed principally +to the verses which he had adapted to the delicious strains of Irish +melody. His verses, in themselves, could boast of but little merit; but +like flies preserved in amber, they were esteemed in consequence of the +precious material by which they were surrounded." + +Sheridan, in speaking of the subject of this memoir, said "That there was +no man who put so much of his heart into his fancy as Tom Moore; that his +soul seemed as if it were a particle of fire separated from the sun; and +was always fluttering to get back to that source of light and heat." Lord +Byron, too, distinguished Moore as "a name consecrated by unshaken public +principle, and the most undoubted and various talents." + + [1] Moore's Sheridan, vol. ii. p. 463. + + * * * * * + + + + +INDEX. + + +VOL.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/11420.zip b/old/11420.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bf769ae --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11420.zip |
