Maria Graham to John Murray, 2 November 1817: 'Pray what is the 4th Canto of "Childe Harold" doing? and where is Lord Byron? You know my admiration for his works, and my thoughts for the best, the very best, of the man [...] I have seen but one new book -- a Danish account of the north of Africa, interesting and curious [...] It is straight from the Baltic, having been comissioned by my good friend, Dr. Ross'.
