“ This will decidedly be not only the most 
beautif ul, but certainly the cheapest series of 
Engraviugs ever offered to the public; and we 
trust it will obtain that extensive patronage 
which can alone remunerate the publishers. 
We particularly recommend it to every pur- 
chaser of Mr. Murray’s new Edition of Byron’s 
Works; indeed no edition can or will be con- 
sidered complete without these Plates.”

“ The most enthusiastic admirer of Byron 
must now be completely gratified : this Series 
of Historical Embellishments, will supply a 
splendid memorial of the noble and immortal 
Bard. ‘ The Byron Gallery’ was really wanted 
to make the charm complete; and is executed 
in a manner worthy ol the 1 glorious ima- 
ginings' which it is the professed object of 
the work to set before us. The execution of 
the Engravings is quite masterly.”

o the following Extracts from some of the many Notices of

s superior excellence. 
u A scries of embellishments worthy of By- 
ron’s genius. We cordially recommend these 
prints to all lovers of the beautiful in art, and to 
the admirers of B yron . They are perfect gems . 
Though printed on large paper to bind up with 
any edition of Byron’s Poems, yet many would 
prefer keeping them in their own beautiful 
casket .” — Edinburgh Chronicle. 
“ The Engravers, we have already said, have 
done their duty in the most satisfactory man- 
ner— but what are we to say of the exertions of 
the Publishers? In each part they present 
Five beautiful Engravings in a style of 
UNEQUALLED ELEGANCE, FOR FOUR SHILLINGS 
and Sixpence. Verily, this is cheapness, in- 
deed ! After this announcement, our readers will 
not wonder that they already announce * un- 
precedented and very gratifying patronage,’ for 
in a country like this it is impossible that such 
efforts could meet with any other reward.” — 
S’cots Times. 
“ Adequately to describe the delicate beauty of these splendid Plates, does not appear to 
lie within the power of language. There is not an admirer of the works of the departed 
Noble Poet, who can feel satisfied that he has a perfect edition of them, unless the ' Byron 
Gallery ’ be attached to it. There is no instance in which excellence in poetry and the arts 
are so admirably combined .” — Imperial Magazine. , 
“ We should consider any collection ol the Noble Bard s works —magnificent and over- 
Dowerinir as his poetry is— incomplete, without this series of surpassingly beautiful Embel- 
lishments, which should form its inseparable accompaniment. The judgment exhibited in 
selecting he most striking Illustrations ts so recherche, the skill displayed in their execution 
is soereat, and the taste evinced in the whole getting up of the publication ,s so refined, 
that the work cannot fail to become highly popular wrth every lover of poetry, for the sake 
of appropriate embellishment; and with every admirer of the fine arts, for that of pictorial 
excellence. His impossible to speak too highly of these superb -graving,^ ^ 
“ Amidst the numerous works now issiung 
om the press, we know none that more de- 
;rve, or arc more likely to command, the pa- 
nnage of the public. A bard whr., ike Lord 
yron, lives in the souls and aftectmns of .dl 
lat have a heart for true poetry, — a I^ophet 
hose mautle of inspiration fell upou no suc- 
issor, — has never until this moment received 
t the hands of a sister muse any tribute worthy 
f his fame ; a fact which does small credit to 
ar national taste. At length, however, m the 
ublication before us, the fault has been repair- 
4, and the Byron Gallery, in a complete 
me, will render due homage to the genius of 
le deceased poet. We sincerely wish success 
i the projectors of this noble work; and cannot 
oum it will be obtained : the TIates are graced 
ith exquisite tenderness, and executed u lth

“ Five very beautiful Engraving? form a part 
f this Historical Series, one plate of which is 
alone worth five time* the price of the whole 
publication— a price unexampled for cheapness, 
even in these cheap days. The publishers are 
entitled to the gratitude of all the Ten Thou- 
sand admirers of Byron, lor tliis their splendid 
tribute to his genius.”— 
Helps New Weekly Messenger . 
u There is no poet whose works afford ampler 
scope than those of Byron for the display of 
genius in the way of pictoral illustration, and 
it was with no ordinary satisfaction that, on 
examining the first part of this * Gallery,’ we 
found it not only to realise, but to exceed, our 
utmost expectations, combining high genius in 
the way ot design, with unrivalled bea>.ty of 
execution. One plate alone is worth more than 
twice the very moderate Bum charged for the 
whole number. This { Gallery’ is an indispen- 
sable accompaniment to every edition of the 
noble Poet’s works .” — Caledonian Mercury.
