SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
The Morning Leader—
"No happier beginning could have been made than by the anecdotes, bon-mots, and epigrams from the 'Journal of Thomas Moore.' The fame of Moore as a poet has sadly diminished since his death. All the more, therefore, as Mr. Richard Garnett, in his scholarly introduction demands, should we be glad to preserve his name and fame as a raconteur, a story-teller who carries us irresistibly back to the very atmosphere breathed by Byron and Washington Irving."
Literature—
"Mr. Garnett's introduction gives a delightful picture of the man and his social charm. The collection is a storehouse of good things said by men noted for the brilliance of their conversation. Much pleasure can be extracted, and no small knowledge of an intensely social period."
Pall Mall Gazette—
"Every one of the pages has sparkle and animation in it, Moore knew everybody worth knowing in his time, and he introduces us to men who have taken their places in history—not by any formidable description, but with an enjoyable joke and a good-natured story."
