+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."
