edition OF Byron's works. There was biJg-
raphy OF Byron in that volume, written by Mr.
j. W. Leake, WHO, forty or fifty years ago,
was editorially connected with Gdli5aani's ALdS-
Sen9er. In 1916 among vaTety of auto
graphs which purchased from this Mr.. Lsaks
who then was aged and poor-was the iden-
tical half sheet Of paper Gt was the pre-euve-
lore period) which enclosed the letter. 1t is
addressed undoubtedly by Lord Byron him.
SELF to the editor of Gdliqnani's Messenger
Paris, and is authenticated by postmarks and
postage figures. l still possess it. -
"Of the fac-simile given in Galiguanis large
volume of Byron, numerous copies have been
made. During the last twelve months Eve
copies of the letter have been placed before me
for my opinion as IAN expert as to their re-
spectve genuineness. Two were roughly exc
cuted, but one was so well done that it would
have deceived almost any one. Byron for
geries are more common than any other. In
1852 l detected some Of them in the then
BibLotheque National Paris, side by side with
palpable limitations of Shelley, and, strange to
say, of poor Count d'Orsay, who had died not
long before, and was Parisian 'to the manor
born
''As am almost certain that Messrs. Galig-
mani never parted with Lord Byron's original
letter, am inclined to suspect that the old
sbopkeeper mentioned in last months 'Gos-
sip must have copied the copy which Galig
mani published in facsimile"
In the agreeable "Monthly Gossip" we find
the following:- ....
There are many anecdotes which illustrate
the intelligence of animals. The following is
an instance of what we are accustomed to call
humanity. Signor Blitz, the magician of Phi
ladelphis, is remarkable for his success in
training canary birds, these animals, as is well
known, being more intelligent and pos
sessing larger brain in proportion to
the size of their bodies than almost any
others. Now it happened that one of Blitz's
| best performers went blind. The other birds,
instead of neglecting or prosecuting it, as fire.
quently happens among wild animals, treated
| it with the greatest kindness. When the food
was placed in the cage, the others would stand
| back until the blind one had eaten his fill and
then they would chirp from the perch, so that
he might be guided by the ear in finding it
| again. This he would always do after few
| trials.
