Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Moore at Corunna Still, in spite of this, British genius and valour triumphed over all difficulties, and Wellesley delivered Lisbon and compelled the French army to surrender. Then again, Moore, by his marvellous march, checked the course of victory of Napoleon and saved Spain for a time. Cradock organized an army, and Wellesley hurled back Soult's invasion of the north, and drove his army, a dispirited and worn-out mass of fugitives, across the frontier, and in less than a year from the commencement of the campaign carried the war into Spain. So far I have endeavoured to sketch the course of these events in the present volume. But the whole course of the Peninsular War was far too long to be condensed in a single book, except in the form of history pure and simple; therefore, I have been obliged to divide it into two volumes; and I propose next year to follow up the adventures of my present hero, who had the good fortune, with Trant, Wilson, and other British officers, to attain the command of a body of native irregulars, acting in connection with the movements of the British army.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moore: Poet and Patriot If the aphorism of Fletcher be true, viz., "Let me make the songs of a people, and you shall make its laws," no poet, with, perhaps, the exception of Burns, is entitled to a higher niche in the Temple of Fame than the author of the "Irish Melodies." "Lalla Rookh" and his other works, poetical and prose, may have brought him money and reputation, but the memory of Moore shall for ever live and be imperishably enshrined in his "Irish Melodies." The subject of our narrative was born on May 28, 1779, in Aungier Street, Dublin, where his father carried on the business of a spirit grocer. The house can still be seen, and a small bust of the poet stands in an alcove immediately over the entrance door. The business of a spirit grocer, or to speak more accurately that of a publican, which his father followed, is still carried on there; and the house is yearly visited by the curious and the wise. His mother, Anastasia Codd, was a Wexford woman, a fact which made that county dear to him all through his life-time.

In regard to that part of the war which concerned Moore, Napier had at his disposal very ample documents, Southey and Sir Walter Scott hardly any whatever. But as Napier was a fierce partisan, he could not resist mingling with the panegyric of his great hero the most passionate and often unfair denunciations of every act of Castlereagh and of Canning. To attack Moore was therefore supposed to be the duty of every good Tory. The tradition has come down to our own time, and has coloured with a strange bias the work of Mr. Oman, the latest historian of the war. If the report of a Scottish newspaper.

Her creator took A deep glance in the future when he traced Such noble grief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of John Moore, M. D, Vol. 2 of 7: With Memoirs of His Life and Writings Mr. Addison tells us, that the common people of Naples in his time believed that this passage through the mountain was the work of magic, and that Virgil was the magician. But this is the age of scepticism; and the common people, in imitation of people of fashion, begin to harbour doubts concerning all their old-established o pinions. A Neapolitan valet-de-place asked an English gentleman lately, Whether Signior Virgilio, of whom he had heard so much, had really, and bona fide, been a ma gician or not? A magician, ' replied the Englishman; ay, that he was, and a very great magician too.' And do you, ' resumed the valet, believe it was he who pierced this rock i As for this particular rock, ' answer. Ed the master, I will not swear to it from my own know ledge, because it was done before I was born but I am ready to make oath, that I have known him pierce, and even melt, some very obdurate substances.'
