ABSTRACT
Byron, Don Juan, VI-VIII (1823); review by William Maginn (?and John Gibson Lockhart), Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, XIV (July 1823), 88-92. This review appears as a long postscript to a letter by “Timothy Tickler” (so named after the rod that inflicted corporal punishment in British schools). Joseph (Joe) Miller (p. 91) was the supposed author of the perennial jestbook. Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, the sixth son of King George III, was a staunch supporter of the Whigs and liberal causes, patron of the arts, and, apparently (p. 92), a man with a ready laugh.
