Mr. Carlyle considers him to have been a mere sulky dandy. Goethe ranks him as the first English poet after Shakespeare, and is followed by the leading critics of France, Italy, and Spain, All concur in the ad mission that Byron was as proud of his race as of his verse, and that in unexampled measure the good and evil of his nature were inherited and inborn. His genealogy is, therefore, a matter of no idle antiquarianism. 1*<
