MOORE'S LIFE OF SHERIDAN.

Memoirs of the Life of the Rt. Hon. Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
by Thomas Moore, with Portrait after Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Two vols., 12mo, cloth, $2.00.

"One of the most brilliant biographies in English literature. It is the life of a wit
written by a wit, and few of Tom Moore's most sparkling poems are more brilliant and
fascinating than this biography."

—Boston Transcript.

"This is at once a most valuable biography of the most celebrated wit of the times,
and one of the most entertaining works of its gifted author."

—Springfield Republican.

"The Life of Sheridan, the wit, contains as much food for serious thought as the
best sermon that was ever penned."

—Arthur's Home Gazette.

"The sketch of such a character and career as Sheridan's by such a hand as Moore's,
can never cease to be attractive."

—N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.

"The work is instructive and full of interest."

—Christian Intelligencer.

"It is a gem of biography; full of incident, elegantly written, warmly appreciative,
and on the whole candid and just. Sheridan was a rare and wonderful genius, and has
in this work justice done to his surpassing merits."

—N. Y. Evangelist.
