THE DAILY EVEN IK G TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY", JANUARY 4, 1870.
(Vfih'fturd from th Fit Fat.
I then asscd how she became certain of the
tme chum'.
Stic paid, that, from the outset of their married
life, lils conduct towards her wns Btranijo and
unaccounliililo, even during the first weeks after
the weddlnir,whilo they were visiting her friend,
and outwardly on good terms, lie seemed re
solved to Hhuke aud combat both her religion
principles and her view of the family state, lie
tried to undermine her faith in Chritianl as a
rule of life by argument and by ridicule. lie
Set before her the Continental Idea of the liberty
ofmarriane.lt belnn a simple partnership of
friendship and property, the pnrtios to which
Were allowed by one another to pursno their own
separate Individual tastes. lie told Iht, that as
lie could not be expected to confine himself to
her, neither should he expect or wish that she
should confine herself in him; that sho was
yotinir, and pretty, and could have her lovers,
and he should never object; aud that she must
allow him the same freedom.
Kho said that she did not comprehend to what
this was tending till after they came to London,
and his tistcr came to stay with them.
At what prcciio time the idea of an improper
connection between her husband and his sister
was 11 rat forced upon her, she did not say; but
she told me how it was done. She said that one
night, in her presence, he treated his sister with
a liberty which both shocked and astonished her.
. Seolng her amazement and alarm, he came up to
lier and said, in a sneering; taiie, "I suppose you
' perceive you are not wanted here, Go to your
own room, and leave us alono. We can amuse
ourselves better without you."
Bhe said, "I went to my room, trembling. I
fell down on my knees, and prayed to mv hea
Tcnly Fathor to have mercy on them. I thought,
What shall I do ?' "
I remember, after this, a pause in the conver
sation, during which she seemed struggling witk
thoughts and emotions; and, for my part, I was
unable to utter a word or ask a question.
She did not tell me what followed immediately
upon this, nor how soon after she spoke on the
subject with cither of the parties. Sho first
began to speak of conversations afterward held
with Lord Byron, in which he boldly avowed the
connection as having existed in time past, and
as one that was to continue in time to come; and
implied that she must submit to it. She pnt
it to his conscience as concerning his sister's
soul, aud he said that it was no sin; that It was
the way the world was first peopled; the Scrip
tures taught that all the world descended from
one pair;' and how could that be unless brothers
married their sisters ? that, if not a sin then, it
could not be a sin now.
I immediately said, "Why, Lady Byron, those
are the very arguments given in the drama of
Cain."
"The very same," was her reply. "lie could
reason very speciously on this subject." She
Trent on to say that, when she pressed him hard
with the universal sentiment of mankind as to
the horror and the crime, he took another turn,
and said that the horror aud crime were the very
attraction; that he had worn out all ordinary
forms of sin, and that he "longed fortho stimu
lus of a new kind of vice." She set before him
the dread of detection; aud then he became
furious. She should never be the means of his
detection, he said. She should leave him; that
he was resolved upon: but she should always
bear all the blame of the separation. In the
sneering tone which was common with him, he
said, "The world will believe me, and it will not
believe you. The world has made up its mind
that 'By' is a glorious boy; and the world will
go for 'By,' right or wrong. Besides, I shall
make it my life's object to discredit you: I shall
use all my powers. Read 'Caleb Williams,' and
you will see that I shall do by you lust as Falk
land did by Caleb."
I said that all this seemed to me like insanity.
She said that she was for a time led to think
that it was insanity, and excused and pitied
him; that his treatment of her expressed such
hatred and malignity that she knew not what
else to think of it; that he seemed resolved to
drivo her out of the house at all hazards, and
threatened her, If she should rmain, in a way
to alarm the heart of auy woman; yet, thinking
hi m insane, sho left him at last with the sorrow
with which any one might leave a dear friond
whose reason was wholly, overthrown, and to
whom in this desolation thc was no longer per
mitted to minister.
I inquired in one of the pauses of the conversa
tion whether Mrs. Lclgto was a peculiarly beau
tiful or attractive woman.
"No, my dear: she was plain."
"Was 6ho, then, distinguished for genius or
talent of any kind ?"
"Oh, no ! Poor woman ! sho was weak, rela
tively to him, and wholly under his control.''
"And what became of her ?" I said.
"She afterwards repented, and becams a truly
good woman." I think it was here sho men
tioned that she had frequently seen and con
versed with Mrs. Leigh in the latter part of her
life; and she seemed to derive comfort from the
recollection.
I asked, "Was there a child?" I had been
told by Mrs. that there was a daughter,
Who had lived some years.
She said there was one, a daughter, who
made her friends much trouble, being of a very
diilicult nature to manage. I had understood
that at one time this daughter escaped from her
friends to the Continent, and that Lady Byron
assisted in efforts to recover her. Of Lady
Byron's kindness both to Mrs. Leigh and the
child, I had before heard from Mrs. , who
gave me my first information.
It is also strongly impressed on my mind, that
Lady Byron, in answer to some question of mine
as to whether there was ever any meeting bo
tween Lord Byron and his sister after he left
England, answered that she had insisted upoa
It, or made it a condition that Mrs. Leigh should
not go abroad to him.
When the conversation as to events was over,
as I stood musing, I said, "Have you no evi
dence that he repented ?" and alluded to the
mystery of his death, and the message ho en
' deavored to utter.
She answered quickly, and with great deci
sion, that, whatever might have been his mean
ing at that hour, she felt sure he had finally re
pented; and added with great earnestness, "I
io not believe that any child of the heavenly
Father is ever left to eternal sin."
I said that such a hope was most delightful to
my feelings, but that I had always regarded the
indulgence of it as a dangerous one.
Her look, voice, and manner, at that moment.
are Indelibly fixed in my mind. She looked at
me so suuiy, so urmiy, and said:
"Danger, Mrs. Stowe! What danger can
come from indulgiug that hope, like the danger
that comes from not having it i '
I said in my turn, "What danger comes from
not having it t
"The danger of losing all faith in God," she
Said, "all hope for others, all strength to try and
save them. 1 once knew a lady, una added.
"who was in a state of skepticism and despair
from belief in that doctrine. I think I saved
her by clviuir her my faith."
I was silent; and sho coutinucd: "Lord Byron
believed in eternal punishment fully; for, though
he reasoned against Christianity as it la com
monly received, he could not reason himself out
of it; and I think it made him desperate. Ho
used to say. 'The worst of it is. I do believe.'
Had he seen Ood as I see jllhn, I am sure his
heart would have relented.
She went on to say that his sins, great as they
were, admitted ot miicn palliation una excuse;
that he was the child of siugular and ill-matched
parent; that ho had au organization originally
line, but one capable equiilly of great good or
rrcat evil: tnai in ms childhood be una only tue
worst and most fatal inlluences; that he grew
up into manhood with no guide; that there waj
everything in the classical course of the schools
to duvelop an unhealthy growth of passion, and
no moral lnilueneo or any Kind to restrain it;
that the maimers of his day were corrupt; that
what were now considered vices in society were
then spoken of as matters of course among
young noblemen; that drinking, gaming, and
Iicentiousnecs everywhere abounded; and that,
in) to a certain tune, he ira. no worse than mul
titudes of other young men of his day only
that the vice of lils clay were worse for him.
The . excesses of passion, the disregard of
Tihyf.ical laws in eating, drinking, and living,
wrought effects ou him that they did not on less
fciicitively organized frames, and prepared him I
for the evil hour when he fell Into the sin which I
shaded his whole life. All the rest was a strug

sullcred: and that this showed that (tod had not
utterly forsaken hitn. Remorse, she said, al
ways showed morn) ncitsihllity; and, while that
remained, there was always hope.
Mie now began to sneak ot tier grounds lor
thinking It might tie her duty fully to publish
tins story uctoro she le.lt the world.
first she said, that, through, the whole course
of her life, she had felt thcetcrnal value of truth,
and seen how dreadful a thing was falsehood,
and how fearful it was to be on accomplice in it.
even by silence. Lord Byron had demoralized
the moral Bcnse of England, and he had done It
in a great degree by tho sympathy excited by
falsehood. This had been pleaded In extenua
tion of all his crimes and vices, and led to a low
ering of the standard of morals In tho literary
world. Now It was proposed to print cheap
editions of his works, and sell them among tho
common people, and interest them in him by
the circulation ot this same story.
She then said to this cuect, that Bho believed.
in retribution and suffering in tho future life,
and that the consequonccs of sin here follow us
there; and it was strongly impressed upon her
mind that Lord Byron must suffer in looking on
the evil consequences of what he had done iu this
life, and in seeing the further extension of that
evil.
"It has sometimes strongly appeared to mo,"
she said, "that he cannot be at peace nntll this
injustice Has been righted, bucn is tue strong
feeling that I have when I think of going where
These things, sho said, had lod her to Inquire
whether it might not bo her duty to make a full
and clear disclosure before she left the world.
Of course, I did not listen to this story as one
who was investigating its worth. I received it
as truth. And the purpose for which it was com
municated was not to enable me to prove it to
tho world, but to ask my opinion whether sho
should show it to the world before leaving it.
The whole consultation was upon the assump
tion mat sue mid at her command sucn proori us
could not be questioned.
Concerning what they were I did not minutely
Inquire; only, in answer to a general question,
she said that sho had letters aud docuinonts in
proof of her story. Knowing Lady Byron's
strength of mind, her clear-headedness, her
accurate habits, and her perlect knowledgo or
the matter. I considered her judgment ou this
point decisive.
1 told her that i would take the subject into
consideration, and give my opinion in a few days.
That night, after my sister and myself had re
tired to our own apartments, I related to her the
wholo history, and we spent the night in talking
of it. I was powerfully impressed with the jus
tice and propriety of an immediate disclosure;
while she, on the contrary, represented the
painful consequences that would probably come
upon Lady Bjron from taking such a step.
ueiore we parted tho next day. I reuuostod
Lady Byron to give me some memoranda of
such dates and outlines of the general story as
would enable me better to keep it in its con
nection; whicn she did.
Then follows a chronological summary of the
events of the courtship, marriage, and scpara
tion of Lord and Lady Byron, lu which evidence
is brought forward to show that Mrs. Leigh en
deavored to convince Lady Byron that her hus
band was insane, and tho letters lately published
in tho Quarterly Keciew urc referred to as show
Ing that Lady Byron hesitated to believe the
guilt of her husband and his sister, and that she
was not convinced of it until some timo after the
separation. Mrs. Stowe certainly docs not over
turn the evidence of these letters, and this part
of ber story is as great a muddle as ever. Tho
characters of the two witnesses, Lord and Lady
Byron, aro then compared, and Mrs. Stowe
proves conclusively, to her own satisfaction at
least, that the latter is alono entitled to cre
dence. Then comes the direct argument to
prove the crime, of which we quote the essential
portions:
Wo shall now prococd to state the argument
against Lord Byron.
First. There is direct evidence that Lord Byron
was guilty oi some unusual immorality.
The evidence Is not, as the Blackwood says,
that Luskin ton yielded assent to the ex, parte
. . . . . e ,T . . i 1 j t ; . . i
Biaiemcui oi a cucm, nor, as mo ynm ivriy inti
mates, that he was affected by the charms of an
attractive young woman.
The first evidence of it is tho fact that Lush
ington and ftomilly offered to take the case into
court; and make there a public exhibition of
the proofs on which their convictions were
ioundeu.
Second. It is very stroug evidence of this fact
that Lord Byron, while loudly declaring that
he wished to know with what he was charged.
declined .this open investigation, and, rather
than meet it, signed a paper which he had be-
lore reiusea to sign.
Third. It is also strong evidence of this fact
that, although secretly declaring to all his intimate
menus mat lie stiu wished open investigation
in a court of justice, and nllirming his belief
mat his character was being ruined lor want ai
it, he never alterwards took the means to get It
Instead of writing a private handbill, he might
have come to England and entered a suit; and
he did not do it.
That Lord Byron was conscious of a groat
crime is further made probablo by the peculiar
malice he seemed to bear to his wife's legal
counsel.
If there had been nothing to fear in that legal
investigation wherewith they threatened him.
why did he not only flee from it, but regard with
a peculiar bitterness those who advised and pro
posed it lo an innocent mau laiscly accused.
the certainties of law are a blessing and u
refuge. Femulo charms .cannot mislead in a
court cf justice; and the atrocities of rumor are
there silted ana deprived ot power. A trial is
not a threat to an innocent man; it is au invita
tion, an opportunity. Why, then, did ho hate
Sir Samuel Komilly, no that he exulud like a
fiend over his tragical death ' The letter in
which he pours forth this malignity was so
brutal, thut Moore was obliged, by the general
outcry of society, to suppress it. Is this the
language of an Innocent man who has been
oilcred a fair trial under his country's laws ?
or of a guilty man, to whom the very idea of
public trial means public exposure
Fourth. It improbable that tho crime was the
one now alleged, because that was the most iin
portant crime charged against him by rumor at
the period. 1ms appears by tho lollowlng ex
tract of a lcttor from Shelley furnished by tho
quarterly, oaicu uatn, September lsiu:
"I saw Kinuaird. and had a lone talk with htm.
Tie Informed me that Lady Byron whs now lu perfect
health ; that she was living with your sister. I folt
much pleasure from this Intelligence. 1 consider the
latter iiurt of it us aiiurdlnir a decisive contradiction.
to the only Important calumny that evr wm ad
vanced HKallist jutt. Uil tins ground, nti iuaat, It Will
uucuiuu uiu wurm uerctuier iu do sukiu.
It appears evident hero that tho charge of
improper intimacy with his sister was, in the
mind of Shelley, the only important one that
hud yet been made against Lord byron.
It is fairly Inferable, from Lord Byron's own
stituments, that his family friends believed this
charge. Lady Byron speaks, In her statement,
of ,-ueurett relatives" aud family friends who
were cognizant of Lord Byron's strange conduct
at the time of the separation; and Lord Byron,
in the letter to Bowles, before quoted, says that
every one of his relations, except his sister, fell
from him In this crisis, like leaves from a tree iu
autumn. Thero was, therefore, .not only this
report, but such appearances in support of it as
convinced those nearest to the scene, and best
apprised of tho tacts; so that they fell from him
entirely, notwithstanding the strong lnllueuce
of family feeling. The Uuiccloli book also men
tioned this same allegation as having arisen
from peculiarities In Lord Byron's manner of
treating his sister:
"This deep, fraternal affection assumed at times,
nmler the lnllueuce of his powerful KtmuiH, and
under exceptional chvuiiislaucdH, uu almuht too
passionate expression, which oncuod a freoU Uuld lo
illb tncLUKS." ,
It appears, then, that Ihero was nothing In tho
character of Lord Byron and of hU sister, as
they appeared before "their generation, that pre
vented such a report from arising; (in the con
trary, there was something in their relations that
made It seem probablo. And It appears that his
own family lriends were so affected by It that
they, with one accord, deserted him. 1 ho Quar
terly presents the fact that Lady Byron went
to visit Mrs. Leigh at this time, as triumph
ant proof that nlw did not then believe it. Can
tho Quarterly show just what Lady Byron's
state of mind was, or what her motives were, in
making that visit?
liio Quartern seems to assume that no
woman, without gross hypocrisy, can stand by
a sister proven to have been guilty. We can
appeal on this subject to all women. We fear
lessly ask any wife, ''Supposing your husband
and sister were involved together iu an inlamous
crime, and thnt von were the mother of a young
daughter whose'llfe would be taiuted by a know
ledge of that crime, what would bo your wish ?
Would you wish to proclaim it forthwith ? or
would you wish quietly to separate from your
husband, and to cover the crime from tho eye of
man t
It has been proved that Lady Byron did sot
reveal this even to her nearest relatives. It Is
proved that sho sealed the mouths of her coun
sel, and even of servants, so effectually, that they
remain scaled even to this day. This is evidence
mat sue aid not wish the thing Known, it is
E roved also, that, in spite of her secrecy with
er parents and friends, tho rumor got out, and
was spoken of by Shelley as tho only Important
one.
Now, let us see how this note, cited by the
Quarterly, confirms one of Lady Byron's
own statements. Sho says to Lady Anne
Barnard:
"I trust you understand mr wishes, which never
were to injure Lord Byron In any way; for, though
Be wouia not suiier me to remain nis wuo, ne can
uut prevent me from continuing his friend; and it
was from considering myself as hucIi that 1 silenced
tho accusations by which my own conduct might
have been more fully Justified."
How did Lady Byron silence accusations
Flrot, by keeping silence to her nearest rela
tives; second, by shutting the mouths of ser
vants; third, by imposing silence on her friends
as Lady Anne Barnard; fourth, by silencing
her legal counsel; fifth, and most entirely, by
treating Mrs. Leigh, betoro the world, with un
altered kindness. In the midst of the rumors.
Lady Byron went to visit her; aad Shelley says
that the movement was effectual. Can the
Quarterly prove that at this tune Mrs. Leigh
had not confessed all, aud thrown herself ou
Lady Byron's mercy?
Jt Is not necessary to suppose great horror
and indignation on tho part of Lady Byron.
She may have regarded her sister as the victim
of a most singularly powerful tempter. Lord
nyron, as sue knew, had tried to corrupt herown
morals and faith, lie had obtained a power over
some women, even in tho higlici-t circles in Eng
land, which had lea them to lorego the usual
decorums of their sex, and had given rise to
great scandals. He was a lit ing of wonderful
personal attractions. He had not only strong
poetical, but also strong logical power. He was
daring in speculation, and vigorous iu sophis
tical argument; beautiful, dnzxling, and pos
sessed of magnetic power of fascination. His
sister had been kind aud considerate to Lady
Iiyrou when Lord Byron was brutal and cruel.
She had been overcome by htm, as a weaker
nature sometimes sinks under tho force of &
stronger one; and Lady Byron may really have
considered her to be more sinned against than
sinning.
Mrs. Stowe then adduces tho evidence of Lord
Byron's "Manfred," "Cain," and other works,
and describes these effusions and the attacks on
his wife as at once the productions of a mind
burdened by n great and unnatural crime and a
bold strategy to decelvo the public:
Again : the cvidenco of this crime appears in
Lord Byron's admission, in ft letter to Moore,
that he had an illegitimate chiia born before he
left England, and still living at. the time.
In letter 507, to Mr. Moore, under date Venice,
Feb. a, 1818, Byron says, speaking of Moore's
loss ot a child:
"I know how to feet with you, becanso T am aulte
wrapped up In my own children. Besides mv little
legitimate, I have made unto myself an illegitimate
(luco (Ada's birth), to say nothing of one before;
and I look forward to one of these as the pillar of my
old age, supposing that I ever reach, as 1 hope I
never biiuu, mat uesbiating perioa."
The illegitimate child that he had made to
liimseit since Adah s birth was Allegra, born
about nine or ten months after the separation
The other illegitimate alluded to was born be
fore, and, us the reader sees, was spoken of as
stiu living.
Moore appears to be puzzled 'to know who
this child can be, and conjectures that it may
possibly be th child referred to in an early
poem, written, wuiio a scnooiooy oi nineteen, at
Harrow.
On turning back to the note referred to. we
find two things: first, that the child there men
tioned was not claimed by Lord Byron as his
own, but that he asked his mother to care for it
as belonging to a schoolmate now dead: se
cond, that the infant died shortly after, and.
consequently, could not be the child mentioned
in this letter.
Now, beside this fact, that Lord Byron admit
ted a living illegitimate child born before Ada.
we place this other fact, that there was a child
in England which was believed to be his bythoss
wno uau every opportunity oi Knowing.
On this subject we shall cite a passage from a
letter recently received by us from England, and
written by a person who appears well informed
on the Eubject ot his letter:
"The fact Is, the Incest was first committed, and
the child of it born btfort, shortly before, the Iiyrou
marriage, u ne cniiu (a uuturnter) must not ne con
toundeu with the natural daughter of Lord Byron,
born about a year alter his separation.
"Tho history, more or less, of that child of Incest,
Is known to many; fur In Lady Byron's attempts to
watcli over her, and rescue her from ruin, she was
compelled to employ various agents at diifureut
times."
This letter contains a full recognition, by an
Intelligent person in F.ngfand, ot a child corro'
sponding well with Lord Byron's declaration of
an illegitimate, born bclore he let t England.
Then follows a summing up of all the testi
mony and a defense of Lady Byron for tolling
the story. Another chapter is devoted to a
physiological argument to prove that Lord Byron
was fully capable of committing the crime with
which he is charged, a discussion of the reason
why Lady Byron loved him, and au appeal to
the public. The third part of tho book is made
up of miscellaneous documents, such as Mrs
Stowe's original Atlantic article, Lord Lindsay's
letter to the Londou Times, letters of Lady
Byron, and various communications that have
been made to the press on the subject. We
cannot see that Mrs. Stowe has proved her case
in this book any better thun she did in her origl
nal article, and the whole accusation after all
rests just where it began, with the simple asser
tion of Lady Byron, which there is not a particle
of substantial , evidenco brought forward to
prove.
