"Mr. W.E. Henley is not only steeped to the lips in Byronic
poetry, but he has also a very familiar acquaintance with the
remarkable characters who formed 'the Byronic set,' and he knows
the manners and customs of the Regency epoch to an extent that
gives him full mastery of his subject. There is originality in
the very form of this edition.

"He manages to give in a few vigorous sentences vivid sketches of
the wide circle of Byron's friends and enemies."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._

"The first volume is delightfully handy and the type excellent."
"These Byron Letters (Vol. I.) Mr. Henley has annotated as never
surely were letters annotated before. His notes provide simply a
complete series of little biographies--miniature biographies with
such vital selection, such concise completion without
dry-as-dustness--such interest as no other writer but Mr. Henley
could compass. It may fairly be said that he has discovered a new
art, the art of biographic cameos.... It is safe to say that
henceforth the typical edition of Byron can never be separated
from these notes. In conclusion, if Byron has waited long for a
heaven-sent editor, he has him at last."
"Mr. Henley, so far as elucidation and illustration are
concerned; is fully equipped."--_Athenaeum._

_There will also be an Edition, limited to 150 sets for sale in Great
