Excerpt from Letters on the Character and Poetical Genius of Lord Byron More than twenty of the first of these letters were written with little intention to publish them. They were the succes sive daily impressions which a continued musing on the subject produced in my mind, registered as they occurred with the utmost frankness and fearlessness. I f the reader shall suspect that he now and then perceives some inconsistency in them, a little candour and reflection will, I hope, induce him to alter his opinion. He must recollect that these are Letters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
