These volumes which were presented by George Ticknor to Lord Byron,[A]
and, in turn, presented by him to Scrope Davies, passed into the hands
of Sir Francis Burdett (1770-1844), and are now in the possession of his
grandson, Mr. F. B. Money-Coutts.
FOOTNOTES:

poems, which I had sent him, and expressed his satisfaction at seeing it
in a small form, because in that way, he said, nobody would be prevented
from purchasing it" ("Journal," June 21, 1815). --_Life, Letters, and
