'In 1809 [Anne Isabella Milbanke] wrote the Lines supposed to be spoken at the Grave of Dermody.

He liked the Dermody lines "so much that I could wish they were in rhyme."'

Joseph Blacket : poetry

'The only link of which [Byron] was at this time [1811-12] conscious between him and Miss [Anne Isabella] Milbanke was his acquaintance with Joseph Blacket's poetry and fate. He thought slightingly of the poetry, as she was to learn; and not less slightingly of the patronage [from the Milbanke family] which, in his view, had done the poor young cobbler more harm than good.'

Erasmus Darwin : article 'on Diseased Volition'

'[Byron] was reading an article by [Erasmus] Darwin on Diseased Volition (a semi-anticipation of Freud) and pointed out to her [Anne Isabella, his wife] a passage upon the patient's making a mystery of the diseased association, "which if he could be persuaded to divulge, the effect would cease." Acting upon this hint from Darwin, and from him, she led him on to speak of his infirmity [i.e. his club foot]. He came to talk familiarly of his "little foot" (as he called it) and said that some allowance must surely be made to him on the Day of Judgment, that he had often wanted to revenge himself on Heaven for it.'

It has all the air of truth, and is most entertaining and interesting in every point of view."'

C. R. Maturin : Bertram

John Murray to Walter Scott, 25 December 1815: 'I was with Lord Byron yesterday. He enquired after you, and bid me say how much he was indebted to your introduction of your poor Irish friend Maturin, who had sent him a tragedy, which Lord Byron received late in the evening and read through, without being able to stop. He was so delighted with it that he sent it immediately to his fellow-manager [at Drury Lane theatre], the Hon. George Lamb, who, late as it was, could not go to bed without finishing it. The result is that they have laid it before the rest of the [theatre] Commitee; they, or rather Lord Byron, feels it his duty to the author to offer it himself to the managers of Covent Garden.'
