The Works of Lord Byron, Vol. 7. Poetry

by Baron George Gordon Byron Byron

See, too, for further interesting and conclusive evidence that the ornament on p. 187 of the L.P. copies was not printed from the Newark block, Newark as a Publishing Town, by T. M. Blagg, 1898, pp. 28-30.

Note (2).—An autograph note, dated May 20th, 1812, signed "Byron," is inserted on the fly-leaf of a large-paper copy in the Rowfant Library (Catalogue, 1886, p. 144).
