Excerpt from The Byron and Moore Gallery: A Series of Characteristic Illustrations by Eminent Artists, With Descriptive Letter-Press in Prose and Verse, and Biographies of the Authors OP all the poets of modern times, Byron and Moore have proved them selves the most eminently qualified to illustrate the charms of female grace and beauty: their poems, melodies and songs, teem with all that is most rare, impassioned and refined; forming a beau-ideal, wherein, the angel, yet the woman too, fills up the measure of the soul's content. In presenting, therefore, to the Public, this selection from the poems of these great authors, the publishers have acted under the im pression that they were not only making an offering worthy of its taste and judgment, but also of its patronage and support; for, as one of the highest aims of Art is to refine and chasten the mind, lifting it above the grosser pleasures of sense, and thereby rendering it susceptible of exquisite gratification from the contemplation of all that is most true and beautiful in Art and Nature, it must follow as a consequence, that the sublime Source of all Truth and Beauty, cannot fail to be more forcibly acknowledged, and the mind thus rendered wiser, better and happier. It, however, but too often happens, that in the most celebrated productions, both of Literature and Art, there are found, as is frequently the case in the most costly blocks of Parian marble, some blemish or vein, which renders it as a whole, unfit for the uses of the Sculptor, though in parts, it furnishes material for his most precious purposes. In these selections, the latter observation will be fully exempli fied, as all those passages which, in the works of these authors, have been considered żaws or shadows on their original brightness.
