    of that in 2 vois . 8 vo . which was eagerly read at the time of its appearance . In the prefatory pages Mr . Jeaffreson gives a kind of history of

    his j r ^ j work . He recounts v ^ # the — * difficulties — — — v and dangers' which beset the publication of it ; he describes his sensations on the eve of issuing it ;

    relates how ifc ' went off , ' and describes the opposition it encountered . How it was received by the great papers and reviews is also part of the

    has a especial interest . In the appendix are , printed the Byron letters which appeared in the Aihencsum in 1883 , a letter of Jane Clennont ,

    and a reply to Mr . Froudes criticism in the ' Nineteenth Century . ' From Messrs . Sampson LowMarstonSearle
