=Byron’s (Lord) Letters and Journals=, with Notices of his Life. By
THOMAS MOORE. A Reprint of the Original Edition, newly revised,
complete in a thick volume of 1060 pp., with Twelve full-page
Plates. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 7_s._ 6_d._
“We have read this book with the greatest pleasure. Considered
merely as a composition, it deserves to be classed among the best
specimens of English prose which our age has produced. It contains,
indeed, no single passage equal to two or three which we could
select from the Life of Sheridan; but, as a whole, it is
immeasurably superior to that work. The style is agreeable, clear,
and manly, and, when it rises into eloquence, rises without effort
or ostentation. Nor is the matter inferior to the manner. It would
be difficult to name a book which exhibits more kindness, fairness,
and modesty. It has evidently been written, not for the purpose of
showing--what, however, it often shows--how well its author can
write, but for the purpose of vindicating, as far as truth will
permit, the memory of a celebrated man who can no longer vindicate
himself. Mr. Moore never thrusts himself between Lord Byron and the
public. With the strongest temptations to egotism, he has said no
more about himself than the subject absolutely required. A great
part, indeed the greater part, of these volumes consists of
extracts from the Letters and Journals of Lord Byron; and it is
difficult to speak too highly of the skill which has been shown in
the selection and arrangement.... It is impossible, on a general
survey, to deny that the task has been executed with great judgment
and great humanity. When we consider the life which Lord Byron had
led, his petulance, his irritability, and his communicativeness, we
cannot but admire the dexterity with which Mr. Moore has contrived
to exhibit so much of the character and opinions of his friend,
with so little pain to the feelings of the living.”--LORD MACAULAY,
in the _Edinburgh Review_.

⁂ _The “Comic Almanacks” of George Cruikshank have long been
regarded by admirers of this inimitable artist as among his finest,
most characteristic productions. Extending over a period of
nineteen years, from 1835 to 1853, inclusive, they embrace the best
period of his artistic career, and show the varied excellences of
his marvellous power. The late Mr. Tilt, of Fleet Street, first
conceived the idea of the “Comic Almanack” and at various times
there were engaged upon it such writers as_ THACKERAY, ALBERT
SMITH, _the Brothers_ MAYHEW, _the late_ ROBERT BROUGH, GILBERT
A’BECKETT, _and, it has been asserted_, TOM HOOD _the elder_.
THACKERAY’S _stories of “Stubbs’ Calendar; or, The Fatal Boots”
which subsequently appeared as “Stubbs’ Diary;” and “Barber Cox;
or, The Cutting of his Comb,” formed the leading attractions in the
numbers for 1839 and 1846_.

=Cyclopædia of Costume=; or, A Dictionary of Dress, Regal,
Ecclesiastical, Civil, and Military, from the Earliest Period in
England to the reign of George the Third. Including Notices of
Contemporaneous Fashions on the Continent, and preceded by a
General History of the Costume of the Principal Countries of
Europe. By J. R. PLANCHÉ, F.S.A., Somerset Herald.
[Illustration]
_This work will be published in Twenty-four Monthly Parts, quarto,
at Five Shillings, profusely illustrated by Plates and Wood
Engravings; with each Part will also be issued a splendid Coloured
Plate, from an original Painting or Illumination, of Royal and
Noble Personages, and National Costume, both foreign and domestic.
The First Part is just ready._
In collecting materials for a History of Costume of more importance
than the little handbook which has met with so much favour as an
elementary work, I was not only made aware of my own deficiencies,
but surprised to find how much more vague are the explanations, and
contradictory the statements, of our best authorities, than they
appeared to me, when, in the plenitude of my ignorance, I rushed
upon almost untrodden ground, and felt bewildered by the mass of
unsifted evidence and unhesitating assertion which met my eyes at
every turn.
During the forty years which have elapsed since the publication of
the first edition of my “History of British Costume” in the
“Library of Entertaining Knowledge,” archæological investigation
has received such an impetus by the establishment of metropolitan
and provincial peripatetic antiquarian societies, that a flood of
light has been poured upon us, by which we are enabled to
re-examine our opinions and discover reasons to doubt, if we cannot
find facts to authenticate.
That the former greatly preponderate is a grievous acknowledgment
to make after assiduously devoting the leisure of half my life to
the pursuit of information on this, to me, most fascinating
subject. It is some consolation, however, to feel that where I
cannot instruct, I shall certainly not mislead, and that the reader
will find, under each head, all that is known to, or suggested by,
the most competent writers I am acquainted with, either here or on
the Continent.
That this work appears in a glossarial form arises from the desire
of many artists, who have expressed to me the difficulty they
constantly meet with in their endeavours to ascertain the complete
form of a garment, or the exact mode of fastening a piece of
armour, or buckling of a belt, from their study of a sepulchral
effigy or a figure in an illumination; the attitude of the
personages represented, or the disposition of other portions of
their attire, effectually preventing the requisite examination.
The books supplying any such information are very few, and the best
confined to armour or ecclesiastical costume. The only English
publication of the kind required, that I am aware of, is the late
Mr. Fairholt’s “Costume in England” (8vo, London, 1846), the last
two hundred pages of which contain a glossary, the most valuable
portion whereof are the quotations from old plays, mediæval
romances, and satirical ballads, containing allusions to various
articles of attire in fashion at the time of their composition.
Twenty-eight years have expired since that book appeared, and it
has been thought that a more comprehensive work on the subject than
has yet issued from the English press, combining the pith of the
information of many costly foreign publications, and, in its
illustrations, keeping in view the special requirement of the
artist, to which I have alluded, would be, in these days of
educational progress and critical inquiry, a welcome addition to
the library of an English gentleman

valuable contribution to the literature of surnames, and we hope to
hear more of him in this field.”--_Times._
“Mr. Bardsley’s volume is a very good specimen of the work which
the nineteenth century can turn out. He has evidently bestowed a
great deal of attention, not only upon surnames, but upon philology
in general. The book is a mine of information.”--_Westminster

an important and interesting subject.”--_Athenæum._

“The illustrations of this volume ... are of quite sterling and
admirable art, in a class precisely parallel in elevation to the
character of the tales which they illustrate; and the original
etchings, as I have before said in the Appendix to my ‘Elements of
Drawing,’ were unrivalled in masterfulness of touch since Rembrandt
(in some qualities of delineation, unrivalled even by him).... To
make somewhat enlarged copies of them, looking at them through a
magnifying glass, and never putting two lines where Cruikshank has
put only one, would be an exercise in decision and severe drawing
which would leave afterwards little to be learnt in
schools.”--_Extract from Introduction by_ JOHN RUSKIN.
