THE DAILr EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, TI 1 URS DA r, JANUARY 6, 1870. ConHmud from (hi JVrl Faf. to cool by abstinence, in Ilea of It. I should not so tnncb mind a little accesaton ot flenh ; my bones can rell bear It. Hut the wornt Is, the Uovll always came wn.h It. till I starved him out; and I will not be the bIrto of any appetite. Jf I do err, It shall be my heart, at least, that heruMs the way. O my head I howltaohcM The horrors of fllRPHtionl 1 wonder how Bonaparte's dinner agrees with hint." Moore s Li', vol. II. p. 264. From all the contemporary history and lltora tiro of the time, therefore, we have reason to Vcllevo that Lord Hyron nnoke tho exact truth hen lia said to Medwlii: 'My own master at an aRO wnon 1 most reqnlred a pido, left to the dominion of my passions when lie? were the strongest, with a fortune anticipated .rforo I came Into possession of It, and a constitu tion Impaired by early excesses, I commenced my 'ravels, In 1809, with a Joyless Indlirerence to the ;ortd and all that was before me." Hcdwin's Con rmationt, p. 42. Utter prostration of the whole physical man from lu temperate excess, tho dcudness to temp tation which comes from utter exhaustion, was his condition, according to himself and Moore, whon he lirst left EiiRluud, at twenty-one years Of ap;e. In roiistdorlnu' his subscaucnt history, we are to take Into account that H was upon the brain and ncrvc-powcr, thus exhausted by early ex cess, that the draughts of sudden and rapid literary composition began to bo made. There snmeLhiutr unnatural and unhealthy In the rapidity, clearness, and vigor with which his various works followed each other. Subsequently to the first two cantos of "Chllde Harold," "The ttririn of Abvdos." "The Corsair." "The Giaour." 'Lara." "Parlslna," and "The Siege of Corinth," all followed close upon each other, in a spaco of less than three years, and those the three most critical years pf his life. "The Bride of Abydos" came out In the autumn of 1813, and was written In a week: and "The Corsair" was composed In thirteen days. A few months more than a year before his marriage, and the brief space of his married life, was the period In which all this litnmrv labor was performed, while yet he was running the wild career of intrigue and fashion able folly. He speaks of "Lara" as being tossed oft in tho intervals between masquerades and Lalla, etc. It is with the physical results of such unnatural efforts that we have now chiefly to do. Every physiologist would say that the demands Of such poems on a healthy brain, in that given Space, must have been exhausting; but when we consider that they were checks drawn on a bank broken by early extravagance, and that the sub ject was prodigally 'spending vital forces in every other direction at the same time, one can scarcely estimate the physiological madness of )ucu a course as Lord Byron s. It is evident from his Journal, and Moore's .ecount, that any amount of physical force Which was for the time restored by his first lorcirrn travel was recklessly spent in this period. when he threw himself with a mad recklessness into London society In tho time just preceding liis marriage. The revelations made in Moore s Memoir of this period are sad enough : those to Mcdwin are' so appalling as to the state of . . t U TT....lni1 oa Ia ranntra at least, the benefit of the doubt for which Lord Uvron's habitual carelessness of truth gave Bcopc. . His adventures with ladles of the high est rank in Enirhtnd are there paraded with, a freedom of detail that respect for womanhood must lead every woman to question. The only thing that is unquestionable is, that Lord Byron jnado tuese assertions to iucawin, pot as re morseful confessions, but as relations of his bonnes fortunes, and that Medwln published them in the very faco of the society to which they related. When Lord Byron says. "I have seen a grenl deal of Italian society, and swum in a gondola; but nbthlnir could eo.ua! the' profligacy of high life in England when I knew it," he makes certainly strong assertions, if we re mom bcr what Mr. Moore reveals of the harem kept In Venice. But when Lord Byron intimates that three married women in his own rank in life, who had once held illicit relations with him, made wedding visits to his wife at one time, wo must hone that ho drew on his active Imagination, as ho often did, in his statements in regard to women. When he relates at largo his amour with Lord Melbourne's wife, and represents her as pursu ing him with an insnne passion, to which ho with difficulty responded; and when he savs that She tracked a rival lady to his lodgings, and came into them herself, disguised as a carman one hove that bo exaggerates. And wliat are we to make of passages like this ? "There was t lady at that time, double my own age, the mot her of several children who were per fect angels, with whom J formed a liaUon that con tinued without interruption for eight months. Hlie told me Bhe was never In love till she was thirty, and 1 thouirlit nuself so with her when she was forty. I never felt a stronger passion, which she re ' tnrni.il with ennui ardor. ' "stranire as it mav seem, she sained, as all women do, an Influence over me so strong that I had great tllflU-nlty in Dreaking wun ner.-Unfortunately- these statements, thongh proba- bly exaggerated, are. for substance, borne out in ... . . . :? t . i. .i . with ...... .naaivxi. 1.UO lilblOrj UL IUC UUIUB. ITlbU fSUCBlUlt? abatement for exaggeration in these statements, there remains still undoubted evidence from other sources that Lord Byron exercised a most peculiar and fatal power over the moral sense of the women with whom he was brought in rela tion; and that love for him, in many women, be came a sort of Insanity, depriving them of the Just use of their faculties. All this make his atal history both possible and probable. Even the article in Jilackwood, written in 1835 lor the express purpose of vindicating his char acter, admits that his name had been coupled With those of three, four, or more women of Tank, whom it speaks of as "licentious, un principled, characterless women." That such a courso, in connection with alter nate extremes of excess and abstinence In eating and driuking, and the immense draughts on the brain-power of rapid and brilliant composition, ehould have ended In that abnormal stjtto in ' which cravings pf uunaturul vice give iudlea ' cations of approaching brulu-dUease, scums only ' too probable. This symptom of exhausted vitality becomes often a frequent type in periods of very corrupt society. The dregs of tho old Greek and Ro man civilization were foul with it; and the apostle speaks of the turning of the use of the natural into that which is against nature, as the last step in abandonment. Tho very literature of such periods marks their want of physical and moral soundness, laving lest all sense of what Is simple and natu ral and pure, the rulud dolights to dwell on horrible ideas, which give a idiuddoring sense of ,ullt and crime. All the writings ot this fatal period of Lord Byron's life are more or loss ln .ense histories of unropeutant guilt and remorse r of unnatural crime. A recent writer In Vrmple bar brings to light the fact, that tho 'Bride of Abydos," the first of the brilliant aud rapid scries of poems which began in tho period Immediately preceding his marriage,' was, in its ' first composltlou, an intense story of love be tween a brother aud sister in a Turkish harem: that Lord Byron declared, in a letter to Gait, that it was drawn lrom real life; that in com pliance with the prejudices of the age, he altered the relationship to that of cousins before publication. ' This same writer goes on to show, by a series of extracts from Lord Byron's publiuUed letters and journals, that his mind about this time was in a fearfully unnatural state, and suf fering singular and inexplicable agoules of re morse; that, though he was accustomed fear lessly to confide to his friends Immoralities which would be looked upon as damning, tliero was now a secret to which he could not help alluding lu bis letters, but which he told Moore he could uot tell now, but "some day or othor when we are reUi-ans." tie speaks of his heart as eating itself out: of a mysterious person, whom he says, "God knows 1 love too well, aud the Devil probably too." He wrote a song, and sent it to Moore, addresed to a partner lu some awful guilt, whoso very name ho dares uot meu- on, uecaiibe There is grief in the sound, there la guilt In the fuine' He speuks of struggles of remorse, of efforts t repentance, and returns to guilt with a sort r horror very dillerent lrom the well-pleased air with which lie relates to Medwla 1 1 is ooui'iion generally as oppressed by a frightful, unnatural I eioom ana norror, unu, wueu Ben occasionally I harriv. "not in a way that can or 'might to 'last. ie Giaour." "Tho Corsair.". "Lara." "ran elna," "Tho Siege of Corinth," and "Manfred," all written or conceived about this period of hli life, give one picture ot a desperato, despairing, unrepentant soul, whom suffering maddens but cannot reclaim. In all these he paints only the ono woman, ot concentrated, unconsidcring passion, ready to sacrifice heaven and defy hell for a guilty man, beloved in spite of religion or reason. In this unnatural literature, the stimulus ot crime is represented as Intensifying love. Medora, uui- nare, the rage in ".Lara, rarisina, ana me tost sister of Manfred lovo the more intensely because tho object of the lovo is a criminal, outlawed by God and man. Tho next step bevond this is madness. Tho work of Dr. Forbes winslow on "Obscure nineanen of the Brain and Nerves contains a 5assage so very descriptive of tho case of Lord lyron that It might seem to have been written lor it. mo sixtn cnapicr oi uis worn on -Anomalous and Masked Affections of the Mind" contains, in our view, tho only clow that can unravel tho sad tragedy ot Byron's life. Ho says, p. 87: 'These forms of unrecognized mental disorder are not always accompanied br any well-marked dis turbance of the bodily health requiring medleal at tention, or any obvious departure from a normal state of thought and conduct such as to Justify legal Interference ; neither do these affections always in capacitate the party from engaging In the ordinary imsiiiess oi uie. . . . Trie cnange may nave pro gressed insidiously and stealchlly, hevlug sloviy and almost Imperceptibly Induced Important molecular modification in tne nencace vesicular neunno oi inn brain, ultimatelr resulting In some aberration of the Ideas, alteration of the affections, or perversion of the propensities or lnsuncis. . . . Mental disorder of a dangerous character has been known for years to ne sieainuy advancing, withnnt pii'lilnir the sllshtest notion of Its Dresenee. until some sad aud terrible catastrophe, homicide. or suicide, hss painfully awakened attention to Its existence, rontons sunenng iroiu latent inuii; often affect singularity of dress, gait, conversation, and Dhrascology. The most trifling circumstances stimulate tneir excitaouiiy. uney are rnriyrs to ungovernable paroxysms of passion, are Inflamed to a state or demoniacal fury by the most Insignificant of causes, and occasionally lose all sense of delicacy of feeling, sentiment, refinement of manners and conversation, tuicn manuesiaiions oi unnoiecieu mental disorder may be seen associated with Intel, leetual and moral qualities of the highest order." In another place Dr. WIobIow again adverts to this latter syinpom, which was strikingly marked in tho case oi j-ora Byron: "All delicacy and decency of thought are occa sionally banished from the mind, so effectually does the principle of thought In these attacks succumb to the animal instincts ana passions. "Kucli cases will commonly be found associated with organlo predlsponltlon to insanity or cerebral disease. . . . Aioumcations oi mo matauy are seen allied with genius. The biographies of t'owper, Bums, Byron, Johnson, I 'ope. and Haydon, establish tnat the most exalted Intellectual conditions do not escuDe unscathed. "In early childhood this form of men tat disturb' ance mav. In mauv coses, be detected. To Its exist ence is of ten to be traced the motiveless crimes of the young." No one can compare this passago of Dr. Forbes Winslow with the incidents we have already cited as occurring in that fatal period belore the separation oi JLora aua .Laay Jjyrou, and not icel that the uapioi-s young wife was in deed struggling with those inflexible nntural laws, which, at some stages of retribution, in volve in their awful sweep tho guilty with the innocent. Kbe longed to save; but ha was gone fiast redemption. Alcoholic stimulants aud icentious excesses, without doubt, had pro duced those unseen changes in the brain, of which Dr. Forbes Winslow speaks; and tho re sults were terrible in proportion to the peculiar firmness and delicacy of the organism deranged. . Alas', the history f Lady Byron is tho history of too many women in everv rank of life who are called in agonies of perplexity and fear to watch that gradual process by which physical excesses clmnge the organism of the brain, till slow, creeping, moral insanity comes on. Tho woman who is the helpless victim of cruelties which only unnatural states of the brain could invent; who is ueart-sieK to-day and dreads to morrowlooks In hopeless horror on the fatal process by which a lover and a protector changes uudcr her vycr, if'j.a day to day, to a brute and a fiend. - Lady Byron's married life alas! It is lived over iu many a couaue nun leuumtiuiriiuuHU, with no understanding on either side of the woful misery. Dr. Winslow truly says: "Tho science of these brain affections is yet in its infancy In England." At that time it had not even begun to be. Maduess was a fixed, point; and the in quirles Into it had bo nicety. Its treatment, it established, had no redeeming power, Insanity simply locked, a man up as a dangerous being ; ana tne very suggestion ol it, therefore, was reseated as an luiurv. A most peculiar aud affecting foature of that form of brain-disease which hurries its victim, as by an overpowering mania, into crime, is, that often the moral faculties and the affections remain to a degree unimpaired, and protest with all their strength against tne outrage, iieuco come conflicts and agonies of remorse propor tioned to the strength of the moral nature Bvron. more than any other one writer, may be called the poet of remorse. His passionate pic tures of this feeling seem to give new power to the English language: "There la a war. a chaos of the mind, When all Its elements convulsed combined, Lie dark and Jarring with perturled force, And gnashing with impenitent remorse, That juggling fiend who never spake before, But cries, 'i warned thee I' when the deed Is o'er. It was this remorse that formed the only re deeming feature of the cuso. Its elouuenco, its agonies, won from all hearts the Interest that we give to a powerful nature in a statu of dan ger and ruin, and it may be hoped that this feeling, which tempers the steru justice of human judgments, may prove only a faint image of the wider charity of Him whose thoughts are as far above ours as the heaven is above the earth. ' A MEDIEVAL BAXQUET. On tbe 15th of Jane, 13C8, Lionel, Duke of Clarence, eeoond son of Edward III, of England, was marriod at Milan to tbe Ladj Violante, a daughter of the princely house .'of Visconti, which then ruled Lombardy. The wedding-banqnot of the illuutrious oouple ras a fttrlKiDg example or meditcral profuHcness, as the followinff particulars will amply show. The banqueting-tabjes were arraoged ia the open court before the palace of the Vittoonti, in the Piazza dell' Arenga. Among the guests admitted to the private table of the bride and bridegroom were the Count de Savoy, the liiuhop of Noyara. and the illustrious Doet. Francis Tetrarch, then in the zenith of his fame. - At another table, a hundred of the most beautiful ladies of the court displayed their gorgeous toilets, studded with pearls ana otner precious stones, tneir extravagant use of which is a frequent subject of censure with the contemporary historians. . The banquet was composed of eighteen dif ferent courses, ushered in with the utinoit pomp, and aooompanied by appropriate pre sents for the newly-married pair. The first oourse,: as a nuirK oi peculiar Honor, was served up in duplicate to the bridegroom's table, and whs composed, among other dame. of two small poiklings entirely gil ltd, with tire in their mouths; aud small, uut fish, called porcellettL As presents, two of tbe choioest greyhounds which could be procured, with their appropriate trappings, were led round and exhibited to the company. Theseoorul courso consisted of cilded hares and oiki. with twelve greyhounds aud six gosbuwln ajs present. The third entry was large gilt calf in a silver dish, and an infinity of small gilt trout; twelve sporting dog, of various LrctdH, villi ve lvet collars and silken leaHhe, as presents. The fourth course attended bt twelve ri'nplf1 rif Mortinf dns, snd twtlvd silver wa principally of .'gilt partridges, qnailn, and roast cilded trout The fifth curse. of tilt cam of all kinds came of all kinds, and large gilt carp, was acoompnnied by a himilar pre Btnt of Lnwka to the fourth, only that thpy were enriched with hoodn covered with costly pearls. with tne Bixin entry, the soinia oi ine team and tho more cumbrous presents commenced beef and capons with garlio sanoo, stnr geonff whole in wator; and twelve steel oui rosHes of exquisite finish, buckled and studded with silver, for tho bridegroom. The Bevenin course sounds novel to our eors capons, come, and fish served up in lomonado; and, as presents, twelve matchless suits of Milan armor, twelve tilting-HacMles, ana iweive lances. The eighth entry, pastry, beef, and huge eel pies, with twelve more suits of war anuor. The ninth courso and its successor .nnrn inrl,ln Itnlluicfinl) rt mOIlt Mill lish, jollies, and lampreys; with gold coins, gold cloths, silver basins, ana iiosks nueu with Malmsey ana ernaccia wines, as pre sents. The eleventh course of this never- ending banquet was of kids aooompanied ly six horses, with saddles, lances, targets, and helmets in like number. Tho twelfth, hares and other game, with six largo coursers, with saddles and golden trappings. Tho thirteenth service, venison and beef, with six war horres, with gilded bridles, bits, and full heraldic trappings and housings. Tho fourteenth, fowls, capons, etc, dressed in colored sauoos with citron: aid six licht. lOUSlinff eoursers, with gilded bridles, red velvet cloths, and halters. The fifteenth, peacocks' tonones, mnr ram. of which the Italians and ir rencn narticnlarlv fond, vegetables, and fruit: as presents, a ducal hood, mantle, ana lower robe, covered wun pearis, aua uueu wim ermine. The sixteenth, rabbits, peacocks, ducks, etc.; and a huge silver basin, contain ing one large ruby, one large diamond, a largo pearl, and some other choice spooimens of stones. The seventeenth courso was rural ana pastoral in conipiinwou, uemg cheese, rarmesan, even then famous among epicures, and other products of tho dairy, with tho very appropriate preseni oi iweive- ias cows. For tho eighteenth courso iruits, sweetmeats, and various wines was reserved the most costly present. Two splendid charters ono called the Lion, the other the . tv. t..1 AOOvi were prehemea to ine uikv oi w ranee br his princely father-in-law; and se venty-seven similar steeds for his principal knights and barons. The bridegroom's table at this unconscionable feast, which must have lasted manv hours, was served by twelve principal knights of the duchy; pages of lower rank, but all of f'entle bloo;l, attending on the other tables, and taking cnargo oi ine va rious presents.
