Stoves statement amounts merely to this that the III
trigue lasted two years all Elsewhere she says that
il began before marriage. The following is the douDuu

BY singular mistake the critics almost uhVersaHy
have understood this TO be two years onNui'i'0
struggle" in Lady ByrOns own breast OF between Lau5
Byron and her husband 1t will be seen' however tna'
Mrs stowe only represents the poet himself as struggling
two years with his SIN 1t cumsy expressed, but the
riteror at any rate her nformant-probably did not
mean 70 say that the struggle lasted for two years ate
Lady BYRON discovered the intrigue.
LADY BYRoN's CHARACTER
As to Lady Byrons character. there are hardly TWO
opinions Mrs stowe, dare say, does not rate hei TOO

Of her as she was during the period of Mrs Stoves init
macy in the latter part of her life. 81 consider her'
SAYS this acute observer zone OF the best women OF Io
day. Her means and her goodwill are both great ono
lives to do good says Dr. King and believe this W 10
true" 81 was much pleased with Lady Byron ehe Is
a very remarkable woman, and is most generous anu
HER MENTAL CONDITION.
Dr. King writes TO Robinson IN February 1854: Lazy
Byron is now quite recovered She Is always Feeble ana
Obliged to husband her strength and calculate her pow
ers but her mind IS intact, pure, and LOFTY IL
seems to pour forth its streams of benevoence and iudg
rept even from the sickbed perennial fountain Her
state OF mind has always given me confidence in her
severes illnesses Yet her power of bearing fatigue oc
casonay as during tho illness and death of her daugh
ter, is wonderful"
AS late as the year 1856 he date Of the Stowe dsclo
sures) we fud letters from Lady Byron to Robinson

LADY BYRON on HER HUSBANDS CHARACTER
BRIGHTON, March ., 1855.
IrecOect only those passages OF Dr. Kennedys DOCK
which bear upon the opinions OF Lord Byron strange as

but from the hole tenor of Lord ByrOns feelings cou

the Bible and had the glOOmlest Calvnstc tenets TO

Creator have ascrbed the misery Of his Life

transgressons beyond forgiveness and such was his own
deepest feeling has righteousness beyond that oil the

been at once assured Of pardon his living faith in moral

Judge, then, how I must hate the Creed which
made him see God Avenger not Father
MY own impressions just the reverse, but could
have little weight and 1t in vain TO seek TO turn MS
thoughts for long from that id6e fire with which he con-
nected his physical popularity as a stamp Instead OF
