And soft , from Caracalla s Baths , The herdsman ' s song come * down the breeze While climb his goats the giddy paths To grass-grown architrave and frieze ; And gracefully Albano's hill Carves into the horizon ' s line , And sweetly sings that classic rill , And fairly stands that nameless shrine . And here , O many a sultry noon And starry eve , that happy June , Came Angelo and Melanie , And earth for us was all in tune—For while Love talk'd with them , Hope walk'd apart with me ! ' p . 15—17
TKe whole poem is as good as this ; redolent of sweetness , grace , and partbos . There is another too , * Lord Ivon and his Daughter , ' which has more of prevading strength , united with those attributes ; and both have dee ^ p rweklings of that heart-philosophy which is the science of the pctet . i

The History of Ireland . By Thomas Moore . ( Vol . 65 of the * Cabinet Cyclopaedia . ' ) This volume is rather a series of historical dissertations than a history . The author seems determined to demonstrate that poets can be as diligent , careful , and critical as other people . He is quite successful . The state of the materials rendered it impossible to write the early history of Ireland in any other way , at least to any good purpose ; and the mode of exibiting the results of the author ' s investigations renders them not less interesting than they are curious and historically important . The succeeding volumes will probably have more of the flow of continuous narrative .
Since the above was written , and at a late period of the month , we have received the following document . For its allegations the writer mufct be held altogether and solely responsible ; but thinking the ends of literary justice more likely to be furthered by its insertion than by its suppression , we have acted accordingly .
< Mr . O'Briens Protest against Mr . Moore s Plagiarisms . * I hereby protest , in the most unmitigated and indignant feeling of literary
injustice , against the unwarrantable use of some of the sentiments and phrases of my "Round Towers of Ireland , " introduced by Mr . Moore , wholesale and without acknowledgment , into his " History of that country , just publi&fcd , and forming the 65 th volume of " Lardner ' s Cabinet Cyclopcodia /'
A ttkore barefaced appropriation of another person ' s labour and originality I unhesitatingly affirm I never before witnessed ! for which , too , Mr . Moore hjLg mode no other amends than that of squeezing my name into an obscure note ^ -as umdioua as it ia obscure—and there generalizing my " disquisi tion" as " clever but rather too fanciful /' Hknry O'Brien / ' April 20 , 1835 .
