Individual evidence

- ↑ At the same time, Murray sought legal advice on the prospect of initiating aclaim against Joseph Onwhyn for unauthorized publication of Byron's Don Juan, Cantos I-II but ultimately did not when, to document his property in the work, he would have had to divulge Byron's reputed, but not publicly acknowledged, authorship. See Katz, supra note 128, at 11-13. [2]
