[367] In 1814 Moore showed considerable pride in being included as one of the four poets to sup with Apollo in the Feast of the Poets and said that he was “particularly flattered by praise from Hunt, because he is one of the most honest and candid men” that he knew. (Memoirs, Journal and Correspondence, II, p. 159.) In 1819 Hunt had urged upon Perry, the editor of the Morning Chronicle, the necessity of a public subscription for Moore. (Ibid., II, p. 340). An unfavorable review of Moore’s political principles in The Examiner during the same year may have done something to bring about the change in Moore’s feelings, though he was eulogized in a later issue of January 21, 1821.
