, •
reason, which to wine may seem not altogether 011'4614°, t°7l
why Lord Byron was so unwilling to see his countryro4o
It happened at Genoa, that two Englishmen, through c'43.,'°'l,2rn'
eagle to see his Lordship's residence there. After having P7l.
shown over the other apartments of the Palace/ they .came,
denly towards that in which Lord Byron and his friend,
Barry, tvere seated together. Lord Byron, disliking
Jut inter-
ruption of strangers, on hearing their footsteps,' drew t At1t,1.4
which concealed Mr. Barry and himself from their view. 4lse
English gentlemen entered the apartment, and as they SW go
person there, they presumed, of course, that they might make what-
ever inquiries they thought proper, freely and unserunscrupulouslyAccordingly, they asked the servant who accompanied them,
various questions as to his Lordship's habits, and mode of
living, and as these questions were, for the most part, put for
the purpose of ascertaining the truth or falsehood of some
uufavourable and unkind stories that had been rnmotired
respecting him in England, Lordl3yron, who overheard the whole
conversation from behind the screen, like Lady nazis, was ex-
ceedingly pained and mortified at this scene that was acting before
it. He declared he would not again subject himself to the harnilir-
tion of listening to so much impertinence and calumny ; stud i°l
this circumstance originated the dislike—not altogether inexcusabie
—he ever afterwards evinced in seeing or entertaining those of hi'
countrymen whom be had not previously known. The same
in-
telligent gentleman assured me, that he gave to Mr. Barry, et
Genoa, with whom he had lived in ths habits of the closest inti-
macy, a large quantity of rsauuseript.copy, containing unpubVislmd
compositions of his lordship. Many of them, he assured me, COO'"
tamed passages equal to any in his Lordship's moat popular pt -
ductions.—Oneof three. papers contains a very curious letter, our
posed to be written by Lord Byron's faithful and attached nowt,
Fletcher, to Mr. Ilobhouse, giving him an account of his Led-
ship's death. Lord Byron, after describing this imaginer,' "'tit
with much comic humour, makes Fletcher give an estimate of '"*-
character, which he concludes by saying, that " his Lordship "le
a good master, but a queer man."
