[Lady Byron Vindicated by Harriet Beecher Stowe]@TWC D-Link bookLady Byron Vindicated CHAPTER V 25/37
I never saw a patient with such a delusion.' We refer our readers to a careful study of Dr.Forbes Winslow's consideration of this subject given in Part III.
Anyone who has been familiar with the delicacy and acuteness of Dr.Winslow, as shown in his work on obscure diseases of the brain and nerves, must feel that his positive assertion on this ground is the best possible evidence.
We here gratefully acknowledge our obligations to Dr.Winslow for the corrected proof of his valuable letter, which he has done us the honour to send for this work.
We shall consider that his argument, in connection with what the reader may observe of Lady Byron's own writings, closes that issue of the case completely. The other alternative is, that Lady Byron deliberately committed false witness.
This was the ground assumed by the 'Blackwood,' when in July, 1869, it took upon itself the responsibility of re-opening the Byron controversy.
