HEMANS.—THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS

Of Felicia Hemans, printed from the last English edition, edited by her Sister. Illustrated with six Steel Engravings. Two beautifully-printed and portable volumes, 16mo., $2,50.

"Of this highly accomplished poetess it has been truly said, that of all her sex 'few have written so much and so well.' Although her writings possess an energy equal to their high-toned beauty, yet are they so pure and so refined, that not a line of them could feeling spare or delicacy blot from her pages. Her imagination was rich, chaste, and glowing. Her chosen themes are the cradle, the hearth-stone, and the death-bed. In her poems of Coeur de Lion, Ferdinand of Aragon, and Bernard del Carpio, we see beneath the glowing colors with which she clothes her ideas, the feelings of a woman's heart. Her earlier poems. Records of Woman and Forest Sanctuary, stand unrivalled. In short, her works will ever be read by a pious and enlightened community."

MOORE.—THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS

"Happiness of nature arid felicity of genius are the pre-eminent characteristics of the bard of Erin. Everything lives, moves, and speaks in his poetry. His thoughts are as many and as bright as the insects that people the sun's beam. He exhausts by being inexhaustible."—Hazlitt

"Thomas Moore has unquestionably attained the highest reputation as a lyric poet. In grace, both of thought and diction, in easy fluent wit, in melody, in brilliancy of fancy, in warmth and depth of sentiment, no one is superior to Moore; his celebrated oriental romance "Lalla Rookh," the four tales to which and the frame-work which unites them have been compared, in the 'Edinburgh Review,' to four beautiful pearls joined together by a thread of silk and gold."
