Evidence: | Byron to John Murray, 24 November 1818, thanking him for books sent (including new edition of Isaac Disraeli, "The Literary Character", in which marginal remarks from Byron in first edition quoted): 'It was not fair in you to show him [Disraeli] my copy of his former one, with all the marginal notes and nonsense made in Greece when I was not two-and-twenty, and which certainly were not meant for his perusal ... I have a great respect for Israeli [sic] and his talents, and have read his works over and over repeatedly ... I don't know a living man's books I take up so often, or lay down so reluctantly, as Israeli's [sic] ...' |
