entertaining account, of the Chinese Empire,

decent division into detriments compared

For ilte maids who blvtli'd approving.
Moore's Anac. p 298.
THE version of the Odes of Anacreon,
with which the literary world has recently
been favored, has revived the pleasure which
the melody of the Ivlist once excited on the
plains of Greece, and extended the reputation
of" his translator to every country where Clas-
sical learning is ver.c.-ati d, ami the genuine
effusion., of the poet fin;', a conge-jal glow.
To the. gariue and industry of Thomas
Moore, Esq, we are indebted for one qf the
Jest translations that Englisil literature pos-
sesses, and the liveiie>t exhibition ot Greeeian
poetry that English literature can boast. The
author of the present work is aware that he
-.peaks at a time unpropith us to the fame of
Moore. He knows that the indignation of
some, and the mortification of others, have
been -strongly excit- d by a volume published
"\ him since his visit to this countr;. But his
translation of Anacreon i.us no relation to the
rfwuirfo contained in his "Epistles Odes, he "
To his brilliant genius, as a poet, and ids
:is a translator, repeated editions and
n ¦. erated applause b ar ample teatimonj ;
ad, by adopting his version of Anacreon, tie-
'Uthor at o ".:¦ grid ifii s the feelings of person
a! , i, "dship, and pays thai tribute of respect,
which ii aojustly due to his unrivalled excel-
lence.
The design of this work was conceived dur-
ing the. transient visit which Mr. Moore paid
to this city, in th • .summer of 1804. A bio-
graphical sketch of the life of Anacreon, form-
ed upon the ingenious plan of the Ahfcc Bar-
thelemv, appeared to the author to be an un-
dertaking winch .ffeiad a fertile source of
amusement, and the prosecution of it. was
embraced with that a; dor which is incident to
the schemes of a youthful enthusiast. It was
communicatee! to Mr Moore during one of
those festive nights, which he has remember-
ed in a manner not less honorable to himself
than gratis fill to his friends. Mis approbation
was expressed in a manner which was prompt,
warm, ant flaturing But the author did not
advert to the impropriety of forsaking; that
" deep well," which my Lord Coke has dug
for his " good sons," to wander amid the al-
luring bowers of ancient Greece, though ge-
nius there had delightt d to hold her seat, and
imagination there had whispered her sweetest
inspirations. Such considerations, howev. r,
did intrude, when the fervor of literary emu-
lation had subsided, and reason resumed her
"way. The work was a longtime abandoned,
mid perhaps never would have been submitted
to public inspection, had not the partiality of
a few friends flattered the not incredulous au-
thor into an opinion, that a continuation would
be not wholly unworthy of public perusal.*
The author will make no apology for the of-
fences he has committed against the regulari-
ty of Chronology If laborious commentators
can gravely arid ingeniously dispute whether
Sappho danced to the voluptuous cadence of
the lyre of Anacreon, or whether an entiia
century intervened between the periods o-
their births, he surely may be pardoned, who
suffers Anacreon to write an epitaph upon
Plato, or criticise the Poetick of Aristotle.
Some of these anachronism* were intention-
al, in order to afford suitable topics tor the
conversation of a scholar, and others w«re the
consequence of carelessness.
The work is a fiction, intended to represent
ancient manners, and, by making the Odes of
Anacreon more famihar, to render, if possible,
the popularity of a friend more extensile. To
these motives, if the critjeks add, as it is sup-
posed it must be conceded, some little admix
lure of personal vanity, they have all the caus-
es which produced these Memoirs, and they
may make, such use of the declaration as just-
ice and liberality may suggest That the vo
lurries were written during occasonnl intervals
of business or study, may operate upon th«
__________^H_________________________________
professional occupation It was pleasant to
cheer the gloom of a solitary chamber, by re-
visiting, with the excursive eye of imagination,
the chines that are disunl, and to recount the
days that have rolled by ; to survey the ena-
melled plains where the voice of true patriot-
ism was heard, and where Apollo taught the
rudiments of his art; 10 stray on the banks of
the llyssus and listen to the lyre of Anacreon,
or hang over the Leueadiau mount and drop
a tear to th..- m -in. ,ry of the Lesbian maid. By
such arts, tlie slow feet of time move unper-
ceived. and yve only awake from the pleasing
vision when some sadrealitiosaffrigluthcplian
tonis of fancy from the enchanted bnwer, and
" too feelingly remind us of what we are"—
Such are the pleasures of the recluse, St the
" solemn noon of night," and they are not uu-
delightful!
