| Evidence: | 'Byron has sent us a new poem the Age of Bronze: it is short, and pithy - but not at all poetical. Byron may still easily fail to be a great man. You shall see his Bronze (a poetical squib) when you arrive; and another Liberal which is on the way.' |

| Taken from letter from TC to James Baillie Welsh dated 6th April 1823, written at 3. Moray Street. Pages 324 - 327 in this edition. Estimated date range based on date of Carlyle's previous letter to JBW - this seems to have been a very recent occurrence. It is unclear whether Carlyle is reading a published copy or a copy that he has been sent personally. |
