The palace of fantasy : $b or, the bard's imagery; with other poems
Hardy, John Stockdale
English poetry -- 19th century
“Dr. Davy’s work deserves to be bought as well as perused, so
carefully, completely and expensively has it been got up. We hope
that the consciousness of having discharged such an important duty
will not be the only result of his long labour, but that the work
will prove as remunerative as it ought to be.”--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
“There probably is not another work in our language in which so
ample and substantially useful an account is given of the Ionian
Islands as is here to be found. There can be little doubt that to
these volumes will be assigned an honourable place amongst the
recognized master-works of the class to which they
belong.”--MORNING HERALD.

⛬ The press, both of Great Britain and India, have combined in
eulogizing the value of this work, but it may only here be needful to
quote the following remarks from the editorial columns of the _Standard_
of the 10th April, 1843: “We have elsewhere copied from Mr. Parbury’s
Hand-Book to India and Egypt, an interesting account of the City of
Hyderabad. Let us, in acknowledgment of the means afforded to us to
inform and gratify our readers, say of Mr. Parbury’s work, as we may
with truth, that it is the best Topographical Guide to the countries to
which it refers we have ever seen, a most interesting book,
independently of its topographical utility, and an almost indispensable
key to the late transactions in Central Asia.”
