is a fact that he IdId mount his Pegasus,

up with sparrows and oher birds as to con
vince his readers that he was totally isnorsl
of the names and nature of efowis of Ii

critics poupced down on him from warrior
quarters, peltipg him with scathing satir
rldiculing him as a city-bred upstari, who
egotism was only tqusled by by bis ign
rance. Byren's Hours Of ldleness, youthfl
composition, brought down on his head Il
sarcastic battery Of the Scottish reviewer
There is nothing in Hours q IdJeness calcl

the world by his wonderful geniu
criticism is bens6c to a young aulho
and 1 am sure that it proved true
Byron's care, because but for the crgshir
article published in The Edinburgh Heris
this poetical lion would in all probabilil
never have emerged from his lair. While
am 80 bold as to say that think your you'll
full brother has committed some few blu
ders, he has done much that should NAL
you proud of him. His poetry il by 4
means perfect, but it is as good as any con
posed by lad OF sixteen. He should, and
hope will, receive that substantial encoursg
ment 10 which his talents so justly EMIT
him. One cannot read CtaribeI without fee
ing strong friendship for the YOUTH
author. think his description of the scen
~ in the Pyrenees is most charming, VIII
his picture of sweet, darling little "Claribe
is incompatible. beg you 10 present n
compliments TO the author OF Cla,ibel, ar
tell him how much / thank him for Il
pleasure he has afforded me. Respec
