Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Remains of Theodore Edward Hook, Vol. 2 of 2 Having been frequently put to the blush by hearing very modest young ladies, without a blush (from their ignorance, no doubt), warbling forth the amatory effusions of Mr. Thomas Moore, I have been induced to purify some of the especial favourites of his muse from their grossness, and to convey, through the medium of his exquisite melodies, a moral which, I fear, was not intended by the poet. The following specimens, as will be seen, are wholly divested of licentiousness, and are converted into means of con tributing to the harmless amusement of a party, whose morality is at all times as conspicuous as their patriotism - john bull.
