THE RT. HON. LADY CAROLINE LAMB
The "eccentric" Lady Caroline Lamb,—the Mrs. Felix Lorraine of "Vivian Gray," the Lady Monteagle of "Venetia," figuring also in Mrs. Humphry Ward's "William Ashe,"—daughter of the Earl of Bessborough, the wife of the amiable William Lamb, afterward Lord Melbourne. She infatuated Byron for a season. When he finally cast her off she became his most whimsical enemy.
Facing p. 246.
