The Memoirs of Lord BYRON...
41ie Aremoirs of Lord BRO ON, written by hirnself, are, 4ve believe, lost to the world for ever. This posthumous record of the deceased Nobleman hatt been deposited, as our readers may have informed themselves, in the keeping of MHr. Trio2iAs MIOORE, and designed as a legacy for his benefit. This gentleman, with the consent and at the de. sire of Lord BYnoN, had long ago sold the manuscript to Mr. MURRAY, for, we have been told, the large sum of 2,0001. Since the death of Lord BYRON, it occurred to the sensitive and honourable mind of Mr. Mlooae, that, by possibility, although the noble author himself had given full autho. rity for a disclosure of the document, some of his fa- mily might be wounded or shocked by it. He appoint- ed, therefore, a time for meeting a near eonnexion of the noble Lord (not Lady BYRON), and after a deliberate and joint perusal of the work, finding that this Lady ap- prehended from it much pain to the minds of many persons still living, though no sort of imputation oni her brother's memnory, Mr. MOORE, with a spirit and generosity which the better part of mankind will be at no logs to appreciate, placed the manuscript in the lady's hands, andl permitted her to hurn it in his presence! This sacrifice of self-interest to lofty feeling was made the day before yesterday, and the next morniDg tbe 2,0001. was repaitd to Mr. MURRAY 11y Lord BYoRN s self-desti tuted legatee. The last words of that Nobleman, before the delirium which seized his powerful mind within three days of his death, were-" I wish it to be known, that my last "thoughts were giyen to my wife, my child, and my sister."
