the publication) OF tho work. It appeared
in May, 1917, and Moore was paid 5000
guineas for this pOem-about $l5,75O in
gold-whereas John Milton received only
&25 for "Paradise Lost" and Murray was
considered to have been extremely liberal,
few years before, when he paid, not 5000
gafncds, but less than one third of that
amount Greatly S600) for tho first two
cant % of "Childo Har,ld." Moore may
have been nagnifcentIy paid, but he
had worked steadily and hard at his
poem. He spent three of the FIVE years he
was engaged upon it in making himself
master of Oriental imagery, poetry, natural
history, customs, manners, and TRADITIONS.
When writing Italia RoOkh," he had to
think, as it were, DIS it he wore a turban.
The labor was great, for, as Moore has
recorded, he took in the whole range of all
such Oriental reading as was accessible to
him, and became, for the time being, far
more conyersant with all relating to that
distant region than he had ever been with
the scenery, productions, or modes of life
in any of those countries lying most within
his reach. Great was the la5cr-great tho
success. The late Sir James Macintosh
was asked by Colonel Wilkes, the historian
of British India, whether it was true that
answered Macintosh. "Well,n Wilkes
replied, "that shows me that reading over
D'Herbelot is as good as riding on the back
of a camel" 1t is true that D'Herbeiots
work, which know very well Ia dictionary
in French, of Orientalism,) was one of
Moore's manuals, but he must also have
studied scores of other works on the East
to prepare him for composing Latfa
Rookh." But Byron had visited Turkey,
Greece, and Asia Minor; so, when he had
to write on Oriental subjects, he had not to
read, but to recollect. The eager abundance
of Byron's mind, that spontaneity which
was o characteristic of his genius, produced
in rapid succession, the fascinating Eastern
tales which immediately followed Childe
Harold"
There is description of Baalbec in
paradise and the Peril and Mr.. Carne,
who published Letters from the East"
stated, .'The description in 'Lalla Rookh,'
of the plain and its ruins, is exquititely
faithful. The minaret is on the declivity
near ut hand, and there wanted only the
Muzzein's cry to break the silence" The
particular lines thus commended are
"Joyless he the look down
On that great Tempe once his own,
Whose lonely columns stand sublime,
Like dals, which the wizard, Time,
Had raised to count his ages by
I reserve until future occasion, God
willing, a notice. of the prose of 1Lalla
Rookh, }" and that remarkable critic, Fadla-
deem, Great Chamberlain of the Harem of
the Emperor AurungZebe, but cannot resist
the temptation of concluding with q
quartrain, written by Mr.. Luttrell, one of
Moore's brilliant London friends. 1t runs
thus:
