The PaR Mall Gazette says: The second edition OF
The Quarterly RereC contains postscript TO the ar
tcle on Byron, in which one or two new tacts are
stated The reviewer complains of the ilhberal IN
snnationsn which have been based upon the appear
Ance in The Quarterly of Lady Byrons letters to MIS-
Leigh "They do" he says, fit IL admirably, Out

After remarking that in September, 1916 Lady

including the period of Lord ByrOns last llness MS
sister was the recognized medium OF communication
between Lady Byron and himself the reviewer goes
on: - ,,.. A..
After stating (ane D. 4s that Mr. Wilmot Horton as
claimed every charge made by Lord BrOughon, we sad
named among the rest" We now able TO state posi-
BroGghon' tom and distinctly dsciamed by Mr.. wilmot H0r

autobiography Mrs Leigh represented by one OF Dotn
of Lady Byrons confidential friends, Mr. Wmot Horton
and Colonel (sir Francisl Doyle c.--..,,..
The problem which Mrs. BeecheT Stowe may really
help TO solve Is in the opinion OF The QutGy TINS:
At what period Lady Byron first specified the charge
and by what supposed evidence or mehtdl liOoeiio
she arrived at It'll That assuming her TO nave specl-
fed il i'm 1916 she did under the influence OF mono
mania is q theory of which the reviewer declares ne

his having said, in reference to Lady Byrons multl
form statements during the last ten or fifteen years
of her life that the most Tor Onlyl charitable hHpOt
esis was insanity. But Ithe writer goes ON ooTT
ms regards that period, did not say II was our
hypothesis; and we must beg leave TO suspenu our
opinion on the point Enough for us TO nave demons
strated that whenever, or under Whatever STATE on
mind she brought the accusation, III was Ialsc' NC
conclusion arrived at is that-"n we assume the
charge 10 be false at all events clear MIS- Lelgl'
But If the charge well founded, or even II Lazy
Byron believed 1t TO be well founded we 90 MOI ceai
her. She still stands self-cOnvlcted OF prolonged
course of discrimination and hypocrisy which is more
likely to make angels weep than han her spOlleSS
member of their choir"
The Quarterly does not say, but people VINO ought
to know do say, that the noblemen spoken of IN the
pOstCrpt are the Earl of Chichester ana LORD WI
liam GOdOlphn Osborne.

health his intellect being remarkably clear ana Vig
orous for his nor does he shun aInSl0ns 10 tnt

Byron did or did not make the specific charge IL
