Eagle : Journal of Penrose, the Seaman

John Murray to his wife, 15 August 1814: 'I have got [for publication] at last Mr. Eagle's "Journal of Penrose, the Seaman" [...] Lord Byron sent me word this morning by letter (for he borrowed the MS. last night): "Penrose is most amusing. I never read so much of a book at one sitting in my life. he kept me up half the night, and made me dream of him the other half. It has all the air of truth, and is most entertaining and interesting in every point of view."'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: George Gordon Lord Byron      Manuscript: Unknown
