Mrs. SrowE's article on Lord Byron is
treated with great severity by most of the
newspaper reviewers. They almost uniform
iy take the ground that the accomplished ar-
thor was not warranted in allowing the state
ments OF Lady Byron, unsupported by sci,,-
hl1a OF proof to lie ID her into making charges
ofthe very grave character against the poet.
We have an impression that Mrs. Stowe will
not allow herself to be censured without mol
ing rejoinder that will silence her critics.
The discovery of a little confusion as to dates
is not sufficient ground for discrediting her
whole narrative.
