*Fine copy of the first and only edition. The publication of these "leters' disclosed one of the most ingenious literary forgeries of modern times. Not only in the handwriting, but in other details, they were so carefully executed that they deceived eminent experts, and Browning was indued to write a lengthy introductory essay. The genuineness of the letters was first questioned by Mr. F. T. Palgrave, who saw the book at Tennyson's house, and accidentally opened it at a passage which he recognized as taken from an article contributed by his father to

the Quarterly Review. Little by little the network of fraud was unravelled. The book was rigidly suppressed and the remaining copies were destroyed, and, as only a few copies had got into circulation, it is now very rare. The forgery is attributed to George Byron, said to be the natural son of Byron and the Maid of Athens.
