Moore's New Work.
TRAVELS OF AN IRISH GENTLEMAN,
IN SEARCH OF A RELIGION.
With Notes and Illustrations. By the Editor of Captain Rock's
Memoirs. In 1 vol. 12mo.
“Considering the circumstances under which these volumes are given to the
public, we consider their contents as amongst the most interesting records of
which the assertion of the human mind ever formed the theme.”
—Monthly Review.
“The masterly manner in which Mr. Moore has brought together his arguments,
the great extent and minuteness of his researches into ancient authorities,
his intimacy with the customs and traditions of other times, and his
close and critical knowledge of the ancient languages, will surprise the reader
of his Travels, who may have measured his talents by his songs.”
—American
Sentinel.
THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.
With coloured plates: elegantly bound, with gilt edges: a beautiful
volume for a present.
SISMONDI'S HISTORY OF THE FALL OF THE
ROMAN EMPIRE:
COMPRISING A VIEW OF THE INVASION OF THE BARBARIANS.
THE INFIRMITIES OF GENIUS,
Illustrated by referring the anomalies in the literary character,
to the habits and constitutional peculiarities of Men of Genius.
By R. R. Madden, Esq. In 2 vols. 12mo.
“This is a very valuable and interesting work, full of new views and curious
deductions; beginning with general remarks on the influence of literary
habits, on the constitution, and thence proceeding to make the theory more
actual by its application to particular instances.
“His physical biographies, if we may so term them, of Burns, Cowper, Byron,
and Scott, are of a very curious and novel kind; written with equal feeling
and observation. He traces Cowper's malady to its true source, monomania
on religious subjects; and the tone of the remarks is at once so just and
so candid, that we cannot do better than give a brief portion.”
—Lit. Gazette.
THE LIFE OF PRINCE TALLEYRAND.
Accompanied by a Portrait. In 1 volume, 8vo.
“How could the work be otherwise than interesting, when it traces the career of a statesman, who,
though now in his eighty-first year, has commanding influence in every European cabinet, who acquired
power under the French monarchy, and retained it under the Republic, the Directory, the Consulate, the
Empire, and the Dynasty of Artois and Orleans?”
—Athenæum.
