Even then the desire of Lord Lovelace TO place
this book upon the market, his elaborate precau-

deposited in the Congress Library to preserve its
copyright, all make a rather piteous story when
it Is considered that the object OF the book was
to vilify the most famous Of his race. Byron g

Mr.. Prothero in this cancelled preface SUM-
GENTLY demonstrates that Lord LoVelace within
the last five or six years had declared most en-
phaticaly that the reason why Lord and Lady
Byron declined further to live together as hus-
band and wife could only be found IN some
temporary cause, and declared that Lady Byron
had been badly advised. He insisted at that
period that the whole story as told by Mrs.
Beecher Stowe and others was ''nightmare"-a
complete Illusion"

1t is with no gmall sense of qualification that
I now learn for the first time that this was the
plea that Byron offered to his solicitor Hanson,
and the case that he proposed to make had the
matter come into court. Here is what Mr..
Prothero says in this cancelled preface:
1T is possible that the key to many of the
difficulties in which the separation is involved
may be found in the explanation offered by Lord
Byron TO Hanson. his solicitor. OF that OK

Murray's possession. and from its nature II is

1STARTE'S F4LSEHOOD.
The Quarrel That Led to the Byron
Separation.

Mr.. c. X. Shorter. in The London Sphere
Who are the executors of the late Lord Love
lace? l am amazed that they should permit the
continual sale OF the volume entitled 'Astarte,
the publication of which Lord Lovelace himself
before his death had practically stopped. AS
tarte" il will be remembered a volume of
documents prepared by the late Lord Lovelace
and privately printed at the Chswlck Press.
Copies were sent by Lord Lovclace TO various
members of the family, and he notified TO all
would-be purchasers, after due scrutiny or lhe
name that they could obtain copies for the sum
Of f3 los. from the printers. A few copies were
sold, and indeed became purchaser OF one
$ did also Mr.. PrOtheTo ana Mr.. John Murray
both of whom wrote effective answers in the
Monthly Review" to much contained IN AS
tarte."
Apparently the reviews. which showed in some
measure another side of the shield, gave LORD
Lovelace some misgivings to whether he had
acted wisely, and for some months no fresh
copies OF the book permitted to go forth.
Since the earrs death, however, we find that
they once more on sale notification having
been sent to many of the original applicants that
they can be supplied Whatever may be said IN
excuse for the author-his great age, his unde
niabe ecCentricity-it would be interesting TO
know what excuse can be offered by the eXecu-
tors for extending the circulation of book of
which It may be said not merely that 1T was
worse than crime it was a blunder," but that
IL worse than blunder, IL was an orgy OF
bad taste.
This book should never again have been issued
to the public unless II contained an introduction
by some one who had studied the Byron prob
lem and who able inch by inch to contest
Lord Lovelace's conclusions. For every docu-
ment that Lord Lovelace produced to show that
his grandfather was guilty Of the crime with
which he was charged by Mrs. Reecher Stowe
another document could have been set against
II that would have demonstrated the contrary.
Any with any competence for weighing evil
dence will be able to that Byron comes best
out OF the disagreeable squabble. Meanwhilelt
is my privilege 10 be able to add to my "Byroni-
ana" which is very considerable, an unpub-
lished preface that was written by Mr.. Prothero
for OF the volumes of his admirable edition
Of ByronS Letters and Memoirs"
This cancelled preface presented to me by Mr..
PrOthero, reflects the pretty squabble that went
on between Lord Lovelace on the one side and
Mr. Prothero and Mr.. John Murray on the other
during the issue OF that admirable book. Out of
that quarrel every who read the articles in
1.-The Monthly Review" will realize that Mr..
Prothero and Mr.. Murray came off best. Lord
Lovelace's behavior over the whole question Of
editing Byron's works could only have been the
result OF one Of those extraordinary mental aber-
