Excerpt from Recollections of the Last Days of Shelley and Byron Any details of the lives of men whose opin ions have had a marked influence upon man kind, or from whose works we have derived pleasure or profit, cannot but be interesting. This conviction induces me to record some facts regarding Shelley and Byron, two of the last of the true Poets. The matter contained in this small Volume concerning them is de rived partly from notes taken and letters written at the time the events occurred, and partly from memory. I wrote what is now printed, not sys tematically, but just as the incidents occurred to me, thinking that with the rough draft before me it would be an easy, if not an agreeable.
