Now, what were these factss II has been ingen
to anticipate Mrs. Beecher stowe that they must
have involved an extraordinary amount or degree OF
crime, something worse than neglect, bitterness
and ADULTERY" put together and that although 1t
is than useless 10 speculate upon the precise
oenceu Incest offers the most piausibe clue to the
mystery. In reference to the statement imputed TO
Lady Byron In sDon Juanr that her duty both to
man aud God required this conduct the same writer

she deemed 1t right to communicate to her parents

could induce her to return TO HIM. IL was his past
