On August 13 Mr.Murray informs his wife that "Lord Byron was here yesterday, and I introduced him to Blackwood, to whom he was very civil.

They say," he added, "that Madame de Stael has been ordered to quit Paris, for writing lightly respecting the Bourbons." Two days later he wrote to Mrs.Murray: _August_ 15, 1814.
"I dined yesterday with D'Israeli, and in the afternoon we partly walked and partly rode to Islington, to drink tea with Mrs.Lindo, who, with Mr.L.and her family, were well pleased to see me.
