uced a very curious, amusing, and instructive book, curious in its originality and illustrations, amusing in the comparisons and analyses, and instructive because it contains very much useful information on a too much neglected subject. It will be eagerly read and quickly appreciated."--_National AEgis._ "The whole work exhibits a good deal of scientific research, intelligent observation, and ingenuity."--_Daily Union._ "Highly entertaining even to those who have little time to study the science."--_Detroit Daily Advertiser._ "This is a remarkable volume and will be read by two classes, those who study for information, and those who read for amusement. For its originality and entertaining character, we commend it to our readers."--_Albany Express._ "It is overflowing with wit, humor, and originality, and profusely illustrated. The whole work is distinguished by vast research and knowledge."--_Knickerbocker._ "The plan is a novel one; the proofs striking, and must challenge the attention of the curious."--_Daily Advertiser._ _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._ [Illustration]
