The late Mr. E. J. Trelawny, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Fradelle. 'Some public notice has been taken of the death of one of Lord Byron's and Shelley's friends during their residence in Italy, and a companion of Byron also in his last visit to Greece...[Edward John Trelawny] acted the part of a diplomatic envoy from Lord Byron to the Greek Government...During the last month or two of Byron's life Mr. Trelawny was not with him, being engaged as aide-de-camp to one of the Greek chiefs named Odysseus, and dividing his time between Athens and Epirus. He was sent for when Lord Byron's illness threatened to prove fatal; but he did not reach Missolonghi in time to see him, except in his coffin...He was the author of "Recollections of Shelley and Byron," published in 1858, and of "Records of Shelley, Byron, &c.," published in 1878, describing in minute detail the circumstances which accompanied the death of Shelley, in 1822'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
