This is an announcement that ore of

at length disappeared. Few are now left
Of the brilliant company who adorned the
early part of the nineteenth century, and
whose names are famous in our literature
Among these names none is or will be
he'd in more kindly remembrance than
that OF the lady to whom the poet Moore
gave his heart. Moore not only loved
her-he was proud Of her, and it is de-
lightlul to see in his letters and in his di
aries with what eagerness he sounded her
praises.
