"The Bridge of Sighs" was his Corunna, his Heights of Abraham sickly, weak, wounded, he fell in the full blaze and fame of that great victory. * Memorials of Thomas Hood. Moxon, 1860. 2 vols. What manner of man was the genius who penned that famous song? What like was Wolfe, who climbed and conquered on those famous Heights of Abraham?
Moxon, the bookseller, is his own poet, and that Mr. Moxon, the poet, is his own bookseller.
So Edward Irving went to the true and brave enthusiasts who have gone before him. The first Essays of Elia were published by Taylor and Hessey under the title "Elia," in 1823. The second Essays were, together with the "Popular Fallacies," collected and published under the title of "The Last Essays of Elia," by Moxon, in 1833. Specimen of Lamb's Humor. Death of Mr. Norris. Garrick Plays.
When a would-be poet has collected in his memory a few of what may have struck him as poetical ideas, he puts them into his machine, and after fourteen turns, out comes a sonnet, or if it be his pleasure to spin out his reminiscences very fine a dozen sonnets. Mr. Moxon inscribes as a motto on his title-page four lines of Mr. Wordsworth's vindication of his own use of the sonnet-form
That was the present essay. Subsequently at the end of 1832 Moxon started a weekly paper entitled The Reflector, edited by John Forster, in which the printing of Lamb's essay was begun. It lasted only a short time, and on its cessation Lamb sent the ill-fated manuscript to The Athenæum, where it at last saw publication completed.
Moxon seems to be, into such namby-pamby nonsense; but Mr. Moxon is just as absurd in his grief or his musings, as in his love. When he hears a nightingale "sad Philomel!" he concludes that the bird was originally created for no other purpose than to prophesy in Paradise the fall of man, or, as he chooses to collocate the words, Prophetic to have mourned of man the fall, p. 9.
"What did Harry Musgrave say to your news, Bessie?" her father asked as they rode away from the vicar's house. "I forgot to tell him!" cried she, pulling up and half turning round. "I had so much to hear." But Mr. Carnegie said it was not worth while to bring Harry out again from his books. How fevered the lad looked! Why did not Moxon patronize open windows?
I knew little of chess, but as only a few pieces were on the board it was obvious that the game was near its close. Moxon was intensely interested not so much, it seemed to me, in the game as in his antagonist, upon whom he had fixed so intent a look that, standing though I did directly in the line of his vision, I was altogether unobserved.
Besides, I've a better in hand, Moxon Ivery is the best-accredited member of this State. His dossier is the completest thing outside the Recording Angel's little note-book. We've taken up his references in every corner of the globe and they're all as right as Morgan's balance sheet. From these it appears he's been a high-toned citizen ever since he was in short-clothes.
Incidentally, however, the publication brought Mr. Dana law practice, especially among sailors, and was an introduction to him not only in this country but in England. Editions were published in Great Britain and France. Moxon, the London publisher, sent Mr.
