THE History OF IRELAND, FROM THE EARIIEsr
KINGS OF THAy REALM Down TO IT'S LAST
CHEF. BY Thomas Moore. vols. James b.
Kirker, 37l Broadway.
Moore was the FIRST writer who relieved Irish history
from the dryness of chronological detail which marked
the works Of ss earlier annasts His rich poetcal magi
nation invested with attractions which rendered it
readable large class Of persons who would otherwise
have felt interest in the traditions to which he hss
given such romantic colorng Seen through the
dum that he presents TO US, Irish history offers very
dieren. aspect from that which bears the works Of

therefore, rendered sorvice in reprnting Moore's in
teressipg volumes. In typographical beauty and accu
racy they surpass In opinion the original edition.

Tho letters Of which this volume Is composed have
already found circulation here through the columns
Of the Catholic papers. Tncy are frankly put
forth a defence Of the government and in

course occasionally couds the other but, tho whole,
think the evidence Of Mr. Mcguire s free from pre-
jndice reasonably be expected from member Of
