ABSTRACT

[Byron] Don Juan, IX-XI (1823); Literary Examiner, Aug. 2, 1823, pp. 65–68; Aug. 9, 1823, pp. 81–85; Aug. 16, 1823, pp. 105–110; Aug. 23, 1823, pp. 120–123. Most of this lengthy appreciation is self-explanatory. On page 66 “Dr. and Cr.” represent the “Debtor” and “Creditor” columns on a balance sheet of the period. The final paragraph (pp. 122–123) alludes to the threat of an injunction by the Lord Chancellor to stop publication of the cantos.
