Most odiously unjust, therefore, is Mr.Moore's assertion, that she has had the advantage of Lord Byron in public opinion.

She is, comparatively speaking, unknown to the world; for though she has many friends, that is, a friend in everyone who knows her, yet her pride and purity and misfortunes naturally contract the circle of her acquaintance.
'There is something exquisitely unjust in Mr.Moore comparing her chance of popularity with Lord Byron's, the poet who can command men of talents,--putting even Mr.Moore into the livery of his service,--and who has suborned the favour of almost all women by the beauty of his person and the voluptuousness of his verses.

Lady Byron has nothing to oppose to these fascinations but the truth and justice of her cause.
'You said, Mr.Moore, that Lady Byron was unsuitable to her lord: the word is cunningly insidious, and may mean as much or as little as may suit your convenience.

But, if she was unsuitable, I remark that it tells all the worse against Lord Byron.

I have not read it in your book (for I hate to wade through it); but they tell me that you have not only warily depreciated Lady Byron, but that you have described a lady that would have suited him.
