LORD BYRON

The following interesting notice Of Lord
Byron, is from the Edinburg Weclll
Journal 1t is written by Sir Walter
Scott.
Amidst the general calmncss Of the poll
teal atmosphere, We have been stunned, from
another quarter, by one Of those death notes.
which are pealcd at intervals, as from AN
Archangel's trumpet, to awaken the soul of a,
whole people at oncc.-I4ord Byron. who has
SO long and so amply filled the highest place
in thepublic eye, has shared the lot Of human
ity. His Lordship died at Mssolonghi on the
18th of April. That mighty Genus, Which
walked amongst men as something superior
to ordinary mortality, and whose powcrs
were bcheld with wonder, and somcthing
approaching toterror, as if we knew not wht-
ther they were of good or of evil, is laid aS
soundiy 10 rest as the poor peasant whose
ideas never went beyond his daily task. The
voice OF Just blame, and OF malignant censurc,
are at once silenccd and We feel almost as If
the great luminary Of Heaven had suddenly
disappeared from the Sky at the moment
when every telescope was lcvellcd for the
examination of the spots which dimmcd its
brightness. 1t is not now the question. wl.t
were Byron's faults, what his mistakes: but
how is the blank which he has left in British
literature to be filledup' Not, VIC fear. in our
generation, which, among many highly gif-
ted persons, has produced none who approu-
ched Byron in originality, the first attribute
OF Senious Only thirty-sevcn wears olli--so
much already done for rimmortalitv-so much
time remaining, it seemed to MS short sighted
mortals, to maintain and to extend his fame
and to atone for errors III conduct and Icvit;ry
in composition--who will grievc that such
a race hasbcen shortened though not always
keeping the straight path, such a light e%tin-
guishcd, though sometimes flaming to dazzle
and to bewilder, One word on this ung,lte-
full subject ere we quit it forever.
The errors of Lord Byron arose neither
from depravity otheart,-fo nature had not
committed the anomaly of uniting to such
extraordinary talents an imperfect moral
sense nor from feelings dead to the admira-
ton OF virtue. No man had ever a kinder
heart tor sympathy, or a more open hand fol
the reliet OF distress; and no mind was ever
more formed for the enthusiastic admiration
of noble actions, provided he was convinced
that the actors had procee dcd on disinterest
ed principles. Lord Byron was totally free
fromthe curse and degradation of literature
its JealouSies we mean, and its envy. But his
wonderful genius was of a nature which dis
dalned restraint, even when restraint was
most wholesome. When at school. the task
III which he eXcelled, were those only which
he undertook voluntarily; and his situation
as young man of rank, with strong pas.
slons,an in the uncontrolled enjoyment of 3
considerable fortune, added to that impati
cnce of structures or coercion which was na.
turai to him. AS an author he refused tc
