THOMAS MOORE, by Lord John Russell. APP
pletou 4 Co.
The opinion Of the public both English and American
has been distinctly enough expressed the merits OF this
work Tho editorial abors OF the noble lord who has given
Dis name the tile page 10 have bean guided by
30 proper Of literary responsibility conscientious
regard for the memory Of The gtted writer whose papers
were entrusted 70 his hands painful TO have ones
Ah In the generous and elevated mature Of such
character tnEc Of meanness ami nttlsness that We
would rather believe him 10 have been without We
aovs 70 invest the memories OF thoss writers whom we
admrs with something OF the hcai beauty with which
heir tcemrg ancics lowed everything that they
ouched. We therefore thank bat little the biogrspher
who rudeiy tosrs away the veil which covered their
uls and thank les the literary sessse who falns
90 badly tbs sacr trust roposed hi BY tho ustous
dssd.
Apart nom these drawbacks the work possesses
fntrinssc interest which nothing dlvess Of. The
private correspondence OF . mau like Moore, who not
only himself occupied foremost plsoe In the ranks
OF literature for nearly hall century, but who In
hab Of constant association with the most distinguished
contemporary wits and politicians Of Great Britain
not fall 70 possess strong attraction for all the admirers
OF his genius The Messrs Appleton have therefore done
~e IN repratipg the English edition, and they deserve
edduosal credit for the vcsy handsome style In which
eAsy have placed the WORK before
