SHELTON MACKENZIE, Editor of Sheil's "Sketches of the Irish Bar." 5 Vols., 12mo., cloth. Price $5.00. The Noctes were commenced in 1822, and closed in 1835. Even in England, the lapse of years has obscured many circumstances which were well known thirty years ago. Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, already favorably known as editor of Sheil's "Sketches of the Irish Bar," has undertaken the editorship of The Noctes AmbrosianÆ, for which a familiar acquaintance, during the last twenty-five years, with the persons, events, and places therein noticed may be assumed to qualify him. He has been on terms of intimacy with most of the eminent political and literary characters treated of in the "Noctes," and his annotation of the text will include personal recollections of them. Besides this, Dr. Mackenzie has written for this edition a "History of the Rise and Progress of Blackwood's Magazine," with original memoirs of the principal accredited authors of the "Noctes," viz:—Professor Wilson, The Ettrick Shepherd, J. G. Lockhart, and Dr. Maginn. He will also give the celebrated "Chaldee Manuscript," published in 1817, instantly suppressed, and so scarce that the only copy which the editor has ever seen is that from which he makes the present reprint. There will also be given the three articles, entitled "Christopher in the Tent," (in August and September, 1819), never before printed, in any shape, in this country. The interlocutors in "The Tent," include the greater number of those afterwards introduced in the "Noctes." The "Metricum Symphosium Ambrosianum,"—an addendum to No. III. of "The Noctes," (and which notices every living author of note, in the year 1822), will be incorporated in this edition. This has never before been reprinted here. Nearly Ready, in Two Volumes. THE ODOHERTY PAPERS, FORMING THE FIRST PORTION OF THE MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS OF THE LATE DR. MAGINN. WITH AN ORIGINAL MEMOIR AND COPIOUS NOTES, BY DR. SHELTON MACKENZIE. For more than a quarter of a century, the most remarkable magazine writer of his time, was the late William Maginn, LL.D., well-known as the Sir Morgan Odoherty of Blackwood's Magazine, and as the principal contributor, for many years, to Fraser's and other periodicals. The combined learning, wit, eloquence, eccentricity, and humor of Maginn, had obtained for him, long before his death, (in 1843), the title of The Modern Rabelais. His magazine articles possess extraordinary merit. He had the art of putting a vast quantity of animal spirits upon paper, but his graver articles—which contain sound and serious principles of criticism—are earnest and well-reasoned. The collection now in hand will contain his FacetiÆ (in a variety of languages), Translations, Travesties, and Original Poetry, also his prose Tales, which are eminently beautiful, the best of his critical articles, (including his celebrated Shakspeare Papers), and his Homeric Ballads. The periodicals in which he wrote have been ransacked, from "Blackwood" to "Punch," and the result will be a series of great interest. Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, who has undertaken the editorship of these writings of his distinguished countryman, will spare neither labor nor attention in the work. The first volume will contain an original Memoir of Dr. Maginn, written by Dr Mackenzie and a characteristic Portrait, with fac-simile. Published by J. S. REDFIELD, 110 & 112 Nassau-street, New York PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION. THE CONCLUDING VOLUMES OF DR. MAGINN'S MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS, CONTAINING THE SHAKSPERE PAPERS—HOMERIC BALLADS—FRASERIAN PAPERS, ETC. ANNOTATED BY Dr. SHELTON MACKENZIE EDITOR OF "SHEIL'S SKETCHES OF THE IRISH BAR"—"THE NOCTES AMBROSIANÆ," ETC. Nearly ready, in Two Volumes, THE LIFE OF THE RIGHT HONORABLE JOHN PHILPOT CURRAN, MASTER OF THE ROLLS, IRELAND, BY HIS SON. Edited, with Notes, Illustrations, &c. By SHELTON MACKENZIE, D.C.L. The Life of Curran is identified with the latest years of Ireland's nationality. He was known, tried, and trusted as a true Patriot. During the Reign of Terror, in 1798, got up by the Government of that day in order to betray the Irish Parliament into a parchment Union with Great Britain—sinking the country from a Kingdom to a Province—Curran manifested an independence and fearlessness, as advocate for the accused, during the State Trials, which endeared him to the people from whose ranks he sprung. To use the words of Thomas Davis (who resembled him in many things) he was "a companion unrivalled in sympathy and wit; an orator, whose thoughts went forth like ministers of nature, with robes of light and swords in their hands; a patriot, who battled best when the flag was trampled down; and a genuine earnest man, breathing of his climate, his country, and his time." He was the centre of the flashing wits, the renowned orators, the brilliant advocates, and the true patriots of Ireland's last days of independence. The Biography by his Son, rich as it is in personal details, is capable of great improvement by the addition of numerous facts, anecdotes, and traits of character, relating to Curran and his contemporaries, which have transpired since its publication in 1819. Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, who has long been preparing for this task, undertakes to enrich the present edition by collecting and introducing these desirable illustrations. The work, thus completed, will in truth be a record not only of Curran and his eminent associates, but of the stirring and troublous times in which they lived. It will thus combine Biography and History, with Anecdote, unusually copious and "racy of the soil." Transcriber's Notes: Variations in spelling, punctuation and hyphenation have been retained except in obvious cases of typographical error: "...making a cave look as insignificant as a rabbit-(burrrow -->) burrow." "...but his feelings might thus be (embod ed -->) embodied in words:" "...he was so very plausible in (manmer -->) manner,..." "...when the Bard showed (himslf -->) himself in the north,..." ""...Marquis of (Congynham -->) Conyngham..." "...more careful, more (sudued -->) subdued..." Footnotes have been moved to end of document. Points have been inserted in the prices at the end of book. |
