Excerpt from The Life of Lord Byron
The letters and journals Of Lord Byron, with the interwoven notes of Mr. Moore, should have superseded the utility of writing any other account Of that extra ordinary man. The compilation has, however, not proved satisfactory, and the consequence, almost of necessity, is, that many other biographical portraits of the noble poet may yet be expected 'but will they materially alter the general effect of Mr. Moore's work? I think not; and have accordingly confined myself, as much as practicable, consistent with the end in view, to an outline Of his Lordship's intellectual features - a. Substratum only Of the general mass of his character.
