CONSTIT UT l'O NALIST. SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 14,1808 | From the London Athenasum. Byron. THE GREAT POET-I,OVER AS JUDGED BY HIS MISTRESS —THE COUNTESS GUICCIOLI’S BOOK. No greater proof could be given of the renewed interest which is being felt with respect to Byron, his life, his character,* and his works, than this publication of 1,000 pages, sent fbrtlTto gratify the awak ened European curiosity. For a time, the author and his productions almost ceased to affect the pulse of the people. But when we say that this is the long promised work of the Countess Guiccioli, we should add that it is published anony mously. There is no responsibility assum ed by anybody. The respectability of the publishers is the only guarantee (privately conveyed) of the book being a genuine and authentic work by the celebrated Countess (if we may so call a Dowager-Marchioness, the widow of the eccentric French Marquis «le Boissy, who had but one joke—an effect ed hatred of perfidious Albion!) But the lady herself never speaks in her own per son; never, indeed, speaks at all. She is delicately suggested now and then in ini tials, and she once appears in full, in refer ence to a remark by Byron, that is lie could have married the Countess Guiccioli, lie might have secured the happiness lie had missed in this world, and was never likely to regain. Be this ns it may, it is the ob ject of the Countess to prove her hero per fect, as man and as poet. She leaves a few shadows, not that she believes in them, but. /or artistic effect. Quelqwx ombre*," as she says, “ rendenl le paysuge plus bctiu el plus ecloinnt ” The Italian lady begins by thinking it a pity Byron was born English. She con tends that he was un-English in blood, genius, tastes, mind, and especially in external appearance; whereas, a more thorough young Englishman of his day than Bvron was in most of these matters, especially in his figure, look and bearing, never existed. The Countess cites By ron’s own opinion on one of these points: “ My ancestors are not Saxons,” he said ; “they an: Nierumus My Wood Is all me ridian.” That the Countess Guiccioli should main tain constancy in love as being one of By ron’s characteristics may, perhaps, excite a smile; but, all tilings considered, and a good many have to be taken Into considera tion, it is, perhaps, natural that she should thus uphold the fidelity of a. lover at whom Jove must have laughed heart ily, if he real ly found lovers’ perjuries so risible as lie is said to have done. But Madame ia. Com tesse has not always the key to the solui.ion of matters, nor tiie necessary knowledge where to find it The love passages be tween Byron and Lady Caroline Lamb are told at some length, but they are ill-told ; auel the author not only affirms that Byron had no great, deal of love for Lady Caro line, but “ he suffered too much in having to play such a part as she imposed upon him, and was therefore induced to bring her back to reason and a sense of duty, and thought he had succeeded.” Now, among the many useful habits of Lady Morgan s life may be reckoned that of not only pre serving every letter, by whomsoever ad dressed to her, but every iridosure, albeit the sender desired it might be returned.—- The most piquant part ot Lady Morgan’s Memoirs is that in which the whole of the love affairs of the married Lady Caroline, and the bachelor poet and peer, then in the brightest flush of his fame, are, for the first time, narrated in full. The narration is made by word of mouth, as in letters ad dressed by Ladv Caroline to Lady Morgan, tud in one letter inclosed, written by Bryori to the former highly impressionable lady. No novel, depicting manners of tiie day, Jias anything in it more startling, amusing, yot depressing, than the narration of the ilnO, half-mad, angelic, demoniacal Lady Caroline, as she told it to Lady Morgan, who at once jotted it down, for the sake of posterity, in her journal. Its vivacity is charming in itself; still more so when con trasted witix' the even, monotonous charac ter of the Countess’ story. We there see the flighty woman who claimed Moore, Rogers and Spencer for her lovers, as rendered mao to see the new poet, some part of whose jUChIWc Harold has just exalted her into a sort of paradisaical intoxication—if there be such ff thing.— “ He has a club-foot and bites ilfa nails'” said Rogers; “but the women were all throwing their heads at him ;” and Lady Westmoreland took Caroline up to fling hers, heart and all, in the same direction.— Ok beholding him nearer, however, the ec centric aspirant murmured, “ Mad—bad — and d.iugerous to know !” and turned away. The words were really as applicable to her self as to the young poet, who was being “ suffocated ” by “ the women.” Subse quently, Lord Byron called on Lady Caro line. “ Rogers and Moore,” she told Lady Morgan, “ were standing by me; I was on the sofa. I had Jofit come in from riding. I was filthy and heated- When Lord By ron was announced I flesr out of the room to wash myself. When I returned Rogers said ‘ Lord Byron, you are a happy man.— Lady Caroline has been sitting here iff ;ill her aLirt with us, but when you were an nounced she flew to beautify herself.’ ’’ — Such wi»s the' beginning; and for nine months following it Lord Byron “ almost lived at Melbourne House,” which was the “centre of all gayety, at least in appear ance” Byrou swept all the habitues away, made the lady happy by his homage, and her mother miserable till the connection was broken oft', and Lady Caroline agreed to withdraw to the paternal mansion in Ireland, ft was on the occasion of her de parture that Lord Byron wrote a letter (in which the following passages occur) to La who' communicated it to Lady Morgan ; the presentation of which docu ment by the latter lady furnishes us with erMenee- how inaccurately the Countess Gaiccioli holds the threads of this soroe.- #iMfc4tet>ere«led romance, wiien she comes fCliie conclusion that “ my lord” did not for the love-stricken married la- W and that he everted himself to induce •Lorii jtyron, Juige<l by the Witnesses of his Life. flamtßyron, Jugepar Us pemoins de ta Vie. Paris.) her to resume the patli of reason and duty. The letter breathes word* that burn, assur ances of love made in a tone most likely to lead a woman of fierce passions and tender affections, like Ladv Caroline, to utter ruin and disgrace: “ My Dearest Caroline : If tears which you saw, and know I am not apt to shed; if the agitation which you must have per ceived through the whole of this most ner vous affair, did not commence until the mo ment. of leaving you approached; if all I have said and done, and am still but too ready to say and do, have not sufficiently proved what my real feelings are, and must ever be towards you, my love, 1 have no other proof to offer. God knows I wish you happy; and when I quit you, or rather you, from a sense of duty to your hus band and mother, shall quit me, you shall acknowledge the truth of what, 1 again promise and vow, that no other, in word or deed, shall ever hold the place in iny affections which is, and shall be, most sa cred to you, till I am nothing. * * I shall have a pride, a melancholy pleasure, iu suffering what you yourself can scarcely conceive, for you do not know me. * * Do you think now that I am cold and stern and willful V Will ever others think so? Will your mother —that mother to whom we must indeed sacrifice much more—much more on rny part than she can ever know or imagine ? ‘Promise not to love you?’ ah, Caroline, it is past pro mising. Bat I shall attribute all conces sions to the proper motive, and never cease to feel all that you have already witnessed, and more than, c n ever be known but to my own heart—perhaps to yours. May God protect, forgive and bless you ever and ever, more than ever. “ Your most attached “ Byron. “P. S.— * * Is there anything in earth or heaven that would have made me so happy as to have made von mine long ago? and not less now than then, but more than ever at this time. Yon know 1 would with pleasure give up all here and beyond the grave for you, and in refraining from this musi my motives be misunderstood? I care not. who knows this.” And all this outpouring of what is called “heart” is inadA to a married woman, who writes to Lady Morgan, by way of com ment., “ William” (her husband, afterward Lord Melbourne) “ loved me so much that, lie lorgave me all, and only implored me to remainand of whom she says at another time, “ lie cared nothing for my morals. I might, flirt and go about with what men 1 pleased, lie was privy to my affair with Lord Byron, and laughed at it. His indolence rendered him insensible to everything.” Boon a Her the lover, whose passion was never to die, married, broke away from his wife (not bearing all the blame himself) and thenceforth east what he called his love, like Israel’s incense, upon every shrine. Following the Connless up and clown her book is not. an ignis fawns, so irregular are her movements. She analyzes the por traits of her idol, treats of his religion, goes back to his childhood and early friend ships, exalts him as a father, brother and son, praises the qualities of his heart, makes note of his benevolence and human ity, is ecstatic on the virtues of his soul, lauds again his constancy, his courage, his strength of mind; TitS modesty; an.:F‘gets back again to the virtues of Ids soul, for which one chapter alone does not suffice. Then, having dwell; long on a generosity which was elevated to the height of hero ism, she justifies him in long chapters against the various charges connected with vices and defects; and Iron) w hich we are urged to pronounce' him not guilty or irri tability, misanthropy, pride and vanity ; or. if guilty, then with extenuating cir cumstances. J lavm;v sot thus far, wo an? hurried "back to the old tale of marriage and its conse quences, from which we are taken to dis sertations on his exquisite gayety, his equal ly exquisite melancholy, and finally the peer and poet’s irresistible affinities for the truth. Tn short, the volumes are rather a panegyric than a biography. The writer's own experiences of Byron and his social character are not given, and there is scarcely an anecdote tiiat is new in the two volumes. Extracts from the works of con temporaries who knew him well arc plenti ful, but they are ail from contemporary works in which he was praised. There is nothing taken from such testimony as Leigh Hunt gave in his reminiscences, for which Moore, so to speak, skinned Hunt alive, in verses which, for severity, and in ]xirt for injustice, have perhaps never been equalled. Vet Moore forgot that silence may be as damning as words. Moore him self cast the heaviest reproach against By ron when he consented to the suppression of Byron’s autobiography; and every one concluded that Mr. Chaworth has been murdered, in the famous due), by Lord By ron, 17C5, as he remained silent on being asked it he had been fairly flealtli with by hi» adversary ? The Countess herself is fain to conies; that her book may be look ed upon just now as a pulogium, and noth ing more, but siie is satisfied tljat by and by it must be accepted as a justification.. The Countes® j* bold in denying her hepo’s besetting sin of affectation. He would dine, j)) company, on hard biscuit and soda-water, or mashed potato drenched With vinegar, just to be thought “ stem” in his diet ; but he was sipping on choice viands when the other guests were going to bed, and lie wrote verses easily after supping heavy. There was a spirit of fun mixed *up with affectation, as, for instance, when he traveled ;;; Italy with Rogers, and contrived to take liim ihcoiigh ail the beau - tiful parts when it was dark. Myron loved the beautiful, nevertheless, just as he ad mired Shakespeare, although he depreci ated him, as Sheridan affected to do ; and we do not believe that lie had no feeling for the flue arts because he happened to say to Hobhouse, who was boring him for his opinion of the Panthenon, as they stood <razing at it, “Well, it’s very like the Man sion House.” As for those who profess to find in the construction of his verse a proof that he had no ear for music, we refer them to “ Yet are thy skies as blue,” which so impressed Campbell, and then leave them to their delusions; and in his pious fond ness ‘for his “ poor, clear mother,” we shall always have implicit confidence, although ha did gently prick her arm with a pin when, in &}B childhood, he sat with her m the pew ajt Abeidgpn, and was weary of the SGr vice. Finally, Byron chose to paint his own portrait, with his own pencil, after tjis own manner; and his natural disposition was for burlesque apd caricature. People fol lowed his own fashion and their natural dispositions by accepting tlj.e worst view of him, and turning his.venial errors into crimes. He had one foot shorter than the other, and people who thought diis poetry profane called him club-footed, and chari tably made some reference to Satan. Death ox a» OIP Citizen. —Capt. W.
