"The solid worth of this biography consists in the many striking anecdotes which Mr. Prior 

 has gathered in the course of his anxious researches among Goldsmith's surviving acquaint- 

 ances, and the immediate descendants of his personal friends in London, and relations in 

 Ireland; above all, in the rich mass of the poet's own familiar letters, which he has been 

 enabled to bring together for the first time. No poet's letters in the world, not even those of 

 Cowper, appear to us more interesting." Quarterly Review.
