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 having been compared, in the Edinburgh Review,' to four beautiful pearls joined together by a thread of silk and gold."
