Memoirs, Journal, and Correspondence of Thomas Moore.

Green leather spines and corners, marbled boards, edges, and endpapers, gilt titles and decorations, engraved fronitspieces and titles pages. "Moore's contemporaries saw him as a major poet. In Ireland he was pre-eminent, and on his visits there could rely on an ecstatic welcome at any public occasion. Through much of the nineteenth century Lalla Rookh was admired and reprinted, and the popularity of some of the songs from Irish Melodies and its companion series National Airs (1818–27) persisted well into the twentieth century. In the twenty-first century, however, he is remembered mainly as an associate of Byron, although there is some specialist interest in his political poetry and in his orientalism as a vehicle for his Irish sympathies. His History of Ireland remains important for anyone who wants to understand the intractable difficulties of Irish politicians in their dealings with the British inheritance."
