pmportng to be in the autograph Of the late PERCY

by him such. This publication had been before the
public weeks, and had received the favorable crit
cism Of reviewers being full Of interest merely
metaphysical revelations but touching upon personal I'D
venture, and full of reference to Byron &c. Mr.. Pal
grave first detected the imposition by discovering that the
larger portion of of the letters which ppored be
written from Florence Goodwin part Of an article
Florence written for the Quarterly Rsve in $780, by his
father, Sir Francis Paave. He wrote to Mr. Moxon i'm
medatey announcing his discovery and that respectable
publisher instantly suppressed the book and called in all
the copies he could reach An examination Of the forgery
then instituted the assistance Of gentleman known
to be with autographs and Of intelligent post
Office clerks called in, and they to the best Of their
belief testified that the letters genuine The seals
all correct and the handwriting maryellousy like
Sheleys. 1t in the pomarks that the counterfeit
was detected Mr.. Moxon purchased these letters at
large price at sale at Lotheby Wikinsons These
gentlemen had them from Mr. White, the bookseller in
Pail MALL and he bought them Of two women, believing
them to be genuine and paying large price for them
under that belief.
