Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 12mo., xvi, 198pp., dedication to Lord Byron, errata leaf present, matching marbled fore-edges and endpapers, bound in contemporary half calf, gilt decorated spine in compartments, lightly rubbed on some extremities. A VG+ clean and tightly bound copy. Thomas Moore (1779-1852) was closely attuned to the taste and artistic sensibility of his age, but he is remembered now primarily by the Irish, who still sing his songs and claim him as their own. He was a born lyricist and a natural musician, a practiced satirist and one of the first recognized champions of freedom of Ireland. With George Gordon, Lord Byron, and Sir Walter Scott, he embodied British Romanticism not only for the British and the Irish but also for Americans and Europeans. So popular was he in his day that publishers advanced him extraordinary sums on the promise of works from his ever-active pen. To support his growing family Moore entered the field of political squib writing, taking the Prince Regent, once his friend and patron, as his prime target for Horatian mockery in the pages of the Morning Chronicle, collecting his efforts, with some additions, in Intercepted Letters, or the Two-Penny Post-Bag (1813), published under the pseudonym Thomas Brown the Younger. His sarcastic comments on the Prince Regent's foibles and obesity delighted the Whigs, supporters of the Irish cause. Even the Tories admired some of his imaginative barbs, including the light touch with which Moore ridiculed the threat of "unread Petitions" to crush the sovereign. Much of Moore's satiric verse is dated by its particulars, but among his contemporaries it cast him in a role of political importance and endowed him with more powerful friends than foes. A stream of political poems followed in rapid succession, from The Fudge Family in Paris (1818) to The Fudges in England (1835), with Fables for the Holy Alliance (1823) and Odes upon Cash, Corn, Catholics, and Other Matters (1828) between. Moore's light satirical poems are the verbal equivalents of the political cartoons of the day, full of wit and imagination, less dated than their subjects, though somewhat tedious in rollicking anapests.". …
