“I send some lines, written some time ago, and intended as
an opening to the ‘Siege of Corinth.’ I had
forgotten them, and am not sure that they had not better be left out now:—on that, you
and your Synod can determine.
“Yours, &c.”
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.
