Byron thanks J. Thomson (unidentified) for volume of poems, 27 September 1813: 'I have derived considerable pleasure from ye. perusal of parts of the book - to the whole I have not yet had time to do justice by more than a slight inspection.'
�I�ve been reading Wells� "What is coming �" Hazlitt�s Essays, and a glorious book of critical essays by [J.] A. K. Thompson, called "The Greek Tradition". I read no fiction. Wells� "Wife of Sir Eric Harman" which I�ve just finished isn�t fiction.�
