| Evidence: | Walter Scott to John Murray, 2 July 1812, with enclosed letter of appreciation to Lord Byron:
'I trouble you with a few lines to his Lordship [...] I hope he will not consider it as intrusive in a veteran author to pay my debt of gratitude for the high pleasure I have received from the perusal of "Childe Harold," which is certainly the most original poem which we have had this many a day'. |
