“Dear Murray—I have a great
objection to your proposition about inscribing the
vase—which is, that it would appear ostentatious on my
part; and of course I must send it as it is, without any
alteration. Yours ever, Byron.”
John Murray II (1778-1843)
The second John Murray began the Quarterly Review in 1809 and
published works by Scott, Byron, Austen, Crabbe, and other literary notables.
