LORD BYRON AND Mit.MURRAY. [As many of our Readers have expressed a de sire that we should insert what appears in the Public Journals respecting the BYRON CON• TROVEILSY, we comply with their wishes, and at the same time deem it proper to observe, that TILE SUN is open to all the Parties concerned for the correction of any erroneous statements.] [Front the Mot yang Chronicle.] TO TIM EDITOR OF THE MORNING cHnomrcE. Sin—ln the absence of Mr. Medwin, who is on the Conti. nent, and who will doubtless eventually substantiate, by origi. nal letters or other documents in hip possession, the general au thenticity of his work, I beg leave to observe, the extracts of letters published by Mr. Murray, in answer to certain state ments affecting that Gentleman, contrary to the first impression produced by them, tend, on a mature consideration, to corro. borate the truth and authenticity of the Convereallowt, except in the single instance of the deed ...NA even on this point the letters are not very conclusive. "5: Captain Medwin says, p. Mr. Murray answers this by 170, " When he (Mr. Mur- referring to the deed for the ray) purchased Cain, the Taro Two l'oteari, Cain, &c. in Foreari, and Sardanapalru, he which no such clause is to be sent me a deed, which you may found, and which is signed in remember witnessing.

If Capt. Med win had desired to practise any deception (which is quite im probable), is it at all likely he would have committed himself in so unguarded a manner ? Certainly not. And I have no doubt, if Mr. Murray had chosen to refer to the other deeds, he would have found one witnessed by . Mr. Med win, and containing a clause of the nature alluded to. Another statement attetnpted to be refuted by Mr. Murray Is at page 167 : Capt. Medwin says : Mr. Murray, in answer, "Murray offered me 10001. a quotes a letter, in which Lord Canto for Don Juan, and after- Byron says, " I have copied wards reduced it to 5001. on the and cut the Third Canto of plea of piracy, and complained Don Juan into two, because it of my dividing one Canto into was too long," and adds, "that two, because I happened to th two are to go for one." say sore thing at the end rf the are we see the mention ac- AirdCantoofhaeinploneso." tint y Made of dividing the Third Canto into two, as al luded to in the Conversations, and on referring to the price • given by Mr. Murray, it does appear that he only gave 500 guineas for the Fifth Canto. Now, as Mr. Murray does not inatelhe reason of the diming don of price, is it not reason able to conclude that it was, as stated in The Conversations,on the plea of piracy ? Again at pate 168 of Captain This passage is corroborated Medwin, Lord Byron says," I by an extract of a letter, which have altered my mind consi- appeared in The Literary Ga derably upon that subject aette of the 6th of November, (booksellers and the sale of In which Lord Byron writes his works), as I once hinted to to Mr. Murray, that Mr. Ro- Mr. Murray, I see no reason gent and have convinced why a man should not profit him that he ought not to be so by the sweat of his brain, as generous to booksellers. well as that of his brow." In addition to these remarks, Mr. Editor, I beg you will, injustice to Mr. Medwin, who is not present to defend him self, give place to the following extracts from The Exa miner, which among others, completely falsify the statement so unblushingly set forth by Mr. Murray, that nothing had occurred to subvert Lord Byron's friendly sentiments to. wards him. I am, Sir, your very obedient Servant. THE EDITOR Oks "THE CON VERS.A.TIONS." LORD BYRON AND MR. MURRAY. (From the Examiner.) We intended to have quoted in our last Number the whole of what Captain Aledwin reports as uttered by Lord Byron in various conversations ; regarding Mr. Murray, his Lordship's former bookseller. But before we had put the matter into the printer's hands, a long statement front Mr. Murray himself a p. peered in the :lady papers, contradicting in express terms all the specific charges related by Captain Medwm, and quoting largely, to establish this contradiction, from the Noble Poet's letters to his ci•devant Publisher. As we have not helped to circulate the accusations, we of course are not bound to give the replies In detail; but we shall briefly advert to the principal points. Thy following, though vague, is undoubtedly a serious im patation Murray," said Lord Byron, " pretends to have lost money by my writings, and pleads poverty ; but it' he is poor, which is somewhat problematical to me, pray who is to blame? • • Mr. 3lurray is tender of my lame 1 How kind in him 1 He is afraid of my writing too fast. Why P because ha has a tender regard for his own pocket, and does not like the look of any new acquaintance, in the shape of a book of mine, till lie has seen his old &lends in a variety of new faces; est, disposed of it vast many editions of the former works. I don't know what would become of me without Douglas Kin. naird, who has always been my best and kindest friend. It is not easy to deal with Mr.. Murray."—Nedwin, p. 166. 111 r. Murray answers, that in the numerous letters he receiv ed from Lord 8., who nevertheless always s p o k e his mind very freelx, there is nothing which would even indicate a feeling of the Ind attributed to tar Lordship by Capt. Aledwin. Ile adds, that the " incongruity of these imputations w ill b e ev id ent " from a list he subjoins of the high prices whi c h h e pa id t h e Noble Poet for his copy-rights, from Childs Harold to Don plea which (if he ever Juan, Canto V. inclusive, amounting in all to more than 16,0001. We confess we do not see the conclusiveness of this pecuniary argument. 111 r. Murray *ilea have given a direct '' think • denial to the assertion, that pleaded poverty and loss of made to assert 1,0001. a canto for Do;i m m a l e ey it b ) y o L e ur pt il 4bi l i t c y fiw r n o oi n tu 'l oa : b:cred 'ri s tr ow gs t : tno either true or cre ditable to the maker. lertaedinuci:dieditwitor.:sso book, o is e ie plea of piracy, Juan, haaatn3, Lord al nr ß .d y i r t o u n r , r a i afterwards(: and complained of one canto being divided into two. Sir: Murray meets this by quoting a letter from Lord 8., in which he expressly announces that the two short cantos, made out of one of the ordinary length, must only be paid for as one, and begs not to be suspected of a contrivance to get double p 4 .— This is of course decisive in the bookseller's layo ur . The next charge is still more scandalously truth. W e q uote from Aledwin opposed to the " Becriusel gave him one of my poems, he wanted to make me believe th a t I had made him a present of t wo ot h ers. " Instead of this, it appears from a letter of Lord Byron's, that he had expressly presented the poerus in qu est i on to Mr. Mur ray ; th at t h e l atter h a d notwithstanding remitted his Lord ship's draft for 1;000 guineas, of which he pressed the accep tance as payment for the copyright; that Lord B. at first re. fused, and sent back the draft torn, but subsequently was in duced," by Mr. Murray's earnest persuaaion," to accept it, and to assign the poems accordingly for value received. Another passage in 41folwin's Convents:ions is equally un pardonable, and in regard to the asterisks, very pitiful When Alurray purmatied • Cain,' ` The Two Foscari.' and • sardimapalus,' he sent me a deed, !thi g h you way ro member witnessing. NVeU, after its return to England, it was discovered that • • • • • • • • • • • But I shall take no notice of it." Such was the form in which the passage appeared in the two first Editions of Methyl!). Mr. Murray required and obtained from the publisher the suppressed words, as follow : " it contained a clause which had been introduced without my knowledge, a clause by which I bound myself to offer Mr. Murray all my future compositions." Every assertion in this passage appears to he false; there is no :uch dame in the deed, which moreover was notsigned abroad, or witnessed by Captain W. but was signed in London, aid witnessed by the very friend of' whom Lord B. speaks so highly as the guardian of his interests—the Honourable Dou glas Kinnaird Upon the foregoing points, it is impossible to deny that Mr. Murray has made out a most complete case ; and whether Med win has sinned wilfully or from an inexcusable slovenliness, an exposure of mis-statements so gross in regard to one subject in his book, inevitably throws an air oh' suspicion over the rest, and destroys our reliance on that fidelity so essential to this species of literary reporting. Mr. Murray does not content himself, however, with simply refuting the specific charges above noticed ; hut, in order to do away the general impression which Mmi win's book is calculated to convey—viz. that he had treated Lord B. unhandsomely in his dealings—he " thinks he shall be forgiven for stating the following circumstance : " Mr. Murray, having accidentally heard that Lord Byron was in pecuniary difficulties, immediately forwarded 1,5001. to him, with an assurance that another such sum should be at his service in a few months; and that, if such assistance should not be sufficient, Mr. Murray would be ready to sell the copy right of all his Lordship'l works for his use. " The following is Lord Byron's acknowledgment of this offer " Nov. 14, 1815. " DEsit Sin—l return you your bills, not accepted, butcer. tainly not unhonoured. lour offer is a favour which I would accept from you if I accepted such from any man. Had such been my intention, I can assure you I would. have asked you fairly, and as freely, as you would'give ; and I cannot say more of my confidence or your conduct. The circumstances which induce me to pan with my books, though sufficiently, are not inanediately pressing. I have made up my mind to them, and there is an end. Had I been disposed to trespass on your kindness in this way, it would have been before now, but I am not sorry to have an opportunity of declining it, as it sets my opinion of you, and indeed of human nature, in a different light from that in which I have been accustomed to consider it. " Believe me, very truly your obliged and faithful servant, " To John Murray Esq. " BYRON." The " wealthy bookseller, in pressing ad. vances of money upon the popular poet of the day, may well excite a smile, without knowing anything further on the sub ject ; but when the public are informed (as they will be before we conclude this article) of the subsequent behaviour of Mr. Murray to the Noble Lord, we fancy they will be much in dined to class this vaunted " generosity" along with the" gra. titude" attributed. by Horace Walpole to certain politicians, and 'so truly described by him as "a lively sense of benefits to come." Of this anon, however. lire have not yet done with Captain Med win's statements, for there are.some which Mr. Murray does not attempt to deny, or attempts very lamely. Lord By. ron evidently hit the right nail on the head, in regard to the Court Bookseller's embarrassment between the patronage of office and a lucrative opposition customer : -- " Murray has long prevented the Quarterly' from abusing me. Some of their bullies have had their fingers itching to be at me s but they would get the worst of it in a set to • * * * Murray and I have dissolved all connection : he had the choice of giving up me or the Navy List. There was no hesitation which way he should decide : the Admiralty car ried the day."—( Captain llfedrrirt, p. 189-1714 Mr. Murray's answer is amusing. The assertion about the Admiralty, he says, is " unfounded in fact ;" as if it was meant literally, that my Lords Commissioners had proposed to him the alternative of surrendering either the Navy List or Lord Byron's poems! " With regard to the Quarterly Review," he proceeds, " his Lordship well knew that it was established and constantly conducted on principles which absolutely ex cluded Mr. Murray from all such interference and influence as is implied in the Conversations."--His Lordship must have been prodigiously deep then in the independent tactics practised between a servile manager and his literary entploy4l If Mr. Murray exercised no influence over the Quarterly Review, it must be acknowledged that the books he published had a ma gical charm for its criti cs . B ut t hi s d e li cate matter i s so hap pily illustrated by the next passage we shall quote from Capt. that we should only lose time in farther remarks upon it ; " it is true enough that ' Don Juan' has been pirated ; but whom has he to thank but himself? In the first place, he put too high a price on the copies of the two first cantos that came out, only printing a quarto edition, at, I think, a guinea and a half. There was a great demand for it, and this induced the knavish booksellers to buccaneer. If he had put " John Alm.- ray" on the title-page, like a man, instead of smuggling the brat into the world, and getting Davison, who is a printer and not a publisher, to father it, who would have ventured to ques. tion his paternal rights ? or who would have attempted to de prive hint of them ?—The thing was plainly this: he disowned and refused to acknowledge the bantling ; the natural conse. quenee was, that others should come forward to adopt it. Mr. John Murray is the most nervous of God's booksellers. When • Don Juan' first came out, he was so frightened, that he made a precipitate re treat i nto t h e countr y, s hut himself up and would not open hi s l etters , Th e f ad Is, he prints for too, many Bishops. He i s a l ways b or i ng me with piratical edition after edition, to prove the amount of his own losses, anti fur nish proof of the extent of his own folly." Mr. Murray takes no notice whatever of this part of the story—a prudent silence, doubtless. We would wager a trifle, that he will be equally dumb In regard to the following exposi. tion, which is rather a more serious matter. After giving the last-quoted letter from ford BYRON, rela tive to the °ilia of money, Mr. Murray states, that " NO THING lIAD OCCURRED TOODIIVERT Turest FRIENDLY SENTIIIENTs,"—(4. e., the friendship of Lord Byron for Mr. Murray), and to bear out this assertion, he .quotes two letters— a short complimentary one from Lord B. to himself, dated May 8, 1819; and a longer one, most certainly not in the o ld f r i en d. ly tone, dated Al issolonglii, Feb. .25, 1824. A long i nterva l, the reader will allow how it was m part filled up, a plain tale shall set forth. Ir. the autumn of 1822, Lord Byron transmitted to London an order upon Mr. John Murray to deliver to the Publisher of e u n rra w y r written hesitated t c e 7 to id e p r u ab bl l i e si t l in i i l l i l ad aec h d ee r n e f :p us u e t d i . n the Liberal, his poem entitled the Fitton of Judgment, in order l A la lr d .l% b to its being printed in the first No. of that work. This poem proof sent to Lord Byron, and returned by him corrected ; but however, he was waited typ e , upon with the order for its delivery, ho manifested an extreme reluctance to part with it, and nuggested that he would " ge t it pu bli s h e d" ( i n the sneaking mode .no doubt that he had adopted with Don Juan.) The delivery of the piece was however insisted on; apd Mr. Murray then sent to the Publisher of the Liberal,—not the complete and corrected proof he had received from Lord Byron,—but a copy printed before correction, and having the Preface, an es sential and most important portion of tho work, taken away. The Publisher of the Liberal was consequently ignorant of the existence of a Preface; and he printed the poem from the imperfect and incorrect copy, never sup posing but that it was the corrected proof which he knew the Author had sent to London. In its published state, rouse, quently, the piece was full of errors, and contained phrases which Lord Byron never intended to appear; for his Lordship was in the habit of transmitting MSS. to lingland with many words anti passages which be had by no means determined to print, but which he let go for the time, knowing he should have an opportunity of erasing or modifying them, frequeetly at a inure reflective moment, in the proofs winch were invariably sent out to him. But the printing of a poem with numerous blunders WAS not the only mischief to which Mr. Murray know % ingly subjected Lord Byron and the Publisher of the Liberal by this inexcusable trick. To say nothing of the suppressed Preface (which explained many of the sieereat things in the poem) in the eorreeted proof, which he withheld, the harshest epithets applied to Ueorge the Third in the Vision were omitted .....the very epithets which formed the pith of the indictment on which the Publisher has been convicted and sentenced l Let the reader turn to the errata in the second• edition of the Li. No. 1., and then ask himself whether, had those correc tions not been inexcusably withheld by Mr . Murray the Book. seller, the Vision of Judgment would ever have been indicted by Mr. Murray the Moek-Constitutional Attorney? After conduct like this, is it uncharitable to say, that in making suers of pecuniary advanves, Mr. Murray only showed himself a shrewd speculator, who knew the advantage of laps ing under obligation a pr.dific producer orgolden verses 1' As long as he expected to derive benefit from Lord Byron, he was forward enough with his flattery and his pressing offers of money; bur when he found that Lord B.—disguated with his underhand mode of publishing Don Juan, and with the omis sions of passages in his writings in deference to the courtly or canting crew—began to adopt other channels for the publication of his works, Mr. Murray did nut hckitate to deceive, injure, and insult his former patron in the manner we have just nar rated. Vet tie did riot give up all hop e at once , nor leave off altogether his cringing habits. In October, 1822, he wrote to Lord Byron (as we learnt from a friend with the latter in Italy) how delighted he would be, if his Lordship would but be "so nebtgrmeroas" as to let him publish works of hitt " former giormus description"—[wha t an eminently bad com pliment tothe Noble Bard !1 —And in anotlir letter lie declares, that he Ms of a morning, for hours, looking at hit Lordship's picture. Imagine the languishing bookseller ! A bout the saint time, he begged to be allowed to publish Werner without heaven and Earth,'" for fear of the parsons."—But what did Lord Byron thjnk of all this? A letter to Mr. Murray, which was on it peal to England while the latter was turning these prettycoMpliments, will settle that point:---_ "Genoa, Oct. 22, Sin — You have delivered to Mr. H unt t h e Vision of judg. mint with Out the prelim:. with which I had taken particular pains, and 'particularly desired you to forward to him. Ii this fair--is it honest ? Ia it proper to be thus remiss with papers committed to your charge, and in which you knew that I was interested ? You have also delivered to him some prose tracts incomplete, which you sent to me complete at the beginning o[ the year. I have no wish to repeat what I have so often been obliged to say, and I leave you to your own reflection on the manner in which you have conducted yourself towards me in this matter. " I am, your obedtentst-rvant i ____ _ _ " NOEL IWRON. " P.S. If you have (as seems apparently to be the case) pur. posely-kypt back the Preface to the Vi ion--I can only say, that I have no words strong enough to express my sense of suit conduct. " To John Murray, Esq. Care of John Hunt, Esq., London." If Mr. Murray had done this wrong in nregence only (how. ever unpardonable) would he not, on receiving such a fetter as the above, have hastened to explain as muc h to L or d B yron, who mani f estly believed there was a b a d design 1' He owed Lord B. at least an apology ; and he owed to himself, if igno rant of the wilful offence, an explanation. Con his silence then be construed otherwise than as consciousness of wrong'' How many more letters in a similar style Mr. Murray re, ceived from the same writer, we cannot say ; but we see this letter sdlucles to others in a like tone, and we know that the sense of his misconduct here expressed by Lord Byron was neither a transient impression, nor one that any " explanation" did or could remove. In November, 1822, in a letter pointing out au creatures, his Lordship adds—" This, however ' is the fisult of honest Mr. Murray ;" and on th e 24 t h Ap r il, 1023 the treatment he had received in that m a tter was st ill so much on his mind, that (in a letter to England) he enforces a direc. Lion about some publication thus emphatically--" Do notforget this nor treat sae as Mr. Murray did a b ou t th e 'P re f ace to Me Vision." The reader may now refer toMr. Al urray's declaration, in his answer to Captain Medwin, that " NOTHING OC. , CUBILED TO SUBVERT THESE FRIENDLY SENTIMENTS" of Lord Byron towards himself ! Mr. Murray, we repeat, was ready enough with his bank bills in advance, when he thought he could by them sensfe future lucrative publications ; but when he began toloubt the continuance of the advantage he derived from Lord 8., ha did not hesitate, we see, to commit an act which he knew might lead, and which did lead, to very mischievous consequences-- which be also knew must be peculiarly painful to his Lordship as an author—and which it is impossible to regard otherwise than as a shameful insult, as indeed Lord B. evidently felt it. Yet, until he received the letter above quoted, by which ha learnt that his treacherous suppression was known to the Noble Poet, he still endeavoured to obtain favours from him by the low adulation we have described. But enough : he will be cautious how he asserts again in print that Lord Byron's friend ship for him suffered no interruption. P. S. Should Mr. Murray so far condescend to Publie Opinion as to put forth an answer to this statement, we beg he will include in it a reply to the subjoined question Did Mr. Murray ever receive a verbal compliment paid ap him by Lord Byron, from the lips of Colonel —, on the return of the latter from the lonian Islands ? • There is a laughable little history connected with the deli. very of this letter, which we must tell our readers. it was sent from Italy, without seal or wafer, enclosed in a letter to Mr. John Hunt, who was directed to " take a copy and forward it open." Nevertheless, Mr. hunt put the letter in an euvelopi i ,, which he sealed and directed to Mr. Murray, and forwarded* Albemarle.street; not wishing to inflict on Mr. M. the hums: liation of receiving an open letter through his servant*. • Mr. Murray, however, unluckily " rode the high horse," at that moment; and thinking perhaps to annoy Mr. Hunt by a piccu of affected scorn and real rudeness, returned the double letter unopened. [lt had " From Mr. J. H." on the outside.] Thera wee no alternative; the intended mercy had been unconsciously spurned ; laird Byron's letter was taken out, and delivered open at Mr. Murray's counter; whence (not perhaps without being first perused by his clerks and shopinen) it was of out** expedited to the inner sanctum, where the scornful Bookseller sat wrapped in ids proud contempt ! It was impossible to pity him—the retribution was so entirely the fruit of arrogance and ill-manners. We think it right to say,. that if this letter could, fit sense, be deemed a private one of Air. Murray's, it never have met the public eye in our columns. We reprobate as much as any one the late and threatened violations of friendly confidence in regard to Lord I3yron's Conversations ;nd Cor• respondence. We regard Captain Medwin's book as one en. tire breach of propriety; and we suspect it will not be long before it is shown to be a breach of' truth to nearly the sums extent. CORN 'MADE. (From the Time:. It appears from communications we have uetiveti Anita respectable correspondents on the subject, that a struggle is now carrying op in the corn trade,—on one side to prevent, and on die other to procure, the opening of the ports fox the importation of barley. The great aim of each is, by Wee and purchases, real or fictitious, to alter the state of the averages, as they will appear in the returns for the litlC weeks ending on the 12th instant, by which the itiaportatlOn - is governed. Of the extent to which the tictitious sales hive been carried, sonic idea may be formed from the tutexiii. table; from which it will be seen, that front the 27th of Sop.. tember to the 6th of November, there arrived in the port of London 26,207 quarters of barley, while the quantity of thy& same grain returned by the corn-factors to the Inspecnn of Corn Returns, as having been sold and delivered during the same period, amounts to 46,231 quarter.. It is thus dai. monstrated, that 20,92-1 quarters of barley have been•rto turned in fictitious sales, with a view of opening the ports for the importation of foreign barley. it is said that some pentane havegone so far as to forge the names of retpe,:table corn-factors as parties to the sales in question. The Inspector of Corn tsp. turns has made a report on these transactions to the Borati of Trade, anti the:l94lr Is at present under investigation.
