No such Memoir has appeared on the part of her friends; and the mistress of Lord Byron has the ear of the public, and is sowing far and wide unworthy slanders, which are eagerly gathered up and read by an undiscriminating community.
There may be family reasons in England which prevent Lady Byron's friends from speaking.

But Lady Byron has an American name and an American existence; and reverence for pure womanhood is, we think, a national characteristic of the American; and, so far as this country is concerned, we feel that the public should have this refutation of the slanders of the Countess Guiccioli's book.
LORD LINDSAY'S LETTER TO THE LONDON 'TIMES.' TO THE EDITOR OF 'THE TIMES.' SIR,--I have waited in expectation of a categorical denial of the horrible charge brought by Mrs.Beecher Stowe against Lord Byron and his sister on the alleged authority of the late Lady Byron.

Such denial has been only indirectly given by the letter of Messrs.

Wharton and Fords in your impression of yesterday.

That letter is sufficient to prove that Lady Byron never contemplated the use made of her name, and that her descendants and representatives disclaim any countenance of Mrs.B.
Stowe's article; but it does not specifically meet Mrs.Stowe's allegation, that Lady Byron, in conversing with her thirteen years ago, affirmed the charge now before us.
