Présentation de l'éditeur
Gloucester Road, Old Brompton, London, 8th March, 1854. To J. S. Redfield, Esa. 110, Nassau Street, New York. Dear Sir :I have to thank you for your courtesy in forwarding to me the sheets of Notes from the Letters of Thomas Moore to his Music Publisher, James Power, which, having been suppressed in this country, were purchased by you for publication in A merica, and requesting to know, with reference to myself, whether there is any thing I would wish to have altered or cancelled therein. Whoever the editor may be, I will presume to make no corrections upon what he is pleased to state respecting myself; there is indeed little or nothing on my part to object to, except that matters of such small moment as those in which I am named should be thought worthy of being recalled to memory :and I only beg to observe that at p. 81, the woodcut given was from a drawing by my friend William Henry Brooke, although I certainly did design the engraved title-page of the 8th number of the I rish Melodies a group of antiquarian objects surmounted by an I rish harp ;to which Moore refers. However, violently, as you observe, the Right Honorable John Wilson Croker remonstrated in the Times of 30th January last against Lord John Russell sspitefulness, I have nothing whatever to do with their literary or political differences, although Mr. Wilson Croker is an old and valued friend of mine.
