To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shelley availed himself of the notion in the interest of his friend Leigh Hunt, then in London editing the Examiner; and it was ultimately arranged that Hunt should come over to Italy, and the three (according to Byron's view of the matter) share the profits. In reality, however, Shelley had resolved to have little or no connexion with the magazine as a writer, and absolutely none as a recipient of the proceeds. Hunt and his large family reached Genoa in June 1822, he having by this time relinq...uished his direct control over the Examine}' — a fact very disappointing to Lord Byron when he learned it, as his lordship had been relying upon the close camaraderie of that weekly paper as one mainstay of the quarterly Liberal. Hunt went on to Leghorn, where Byron was staying just then, and to Pisa, where arrangements had been made for his accommo- dation. He could not have arrived at a more unfortunate moment. Street-squabbles, house-squabbles, and political com- plexities, in all of which Byron and his immediate surround- ings had some share, had determined the Tuscan Government to follow the Papal example, and oust the Gambas from the territory : and Byron — not unnaturally, though with too ready a disregard of Hunt's valid claims on his plighted word and honour- able consideration — was minded to follow his mistress and her family forthwith, and leave the Liberal very much to its own devices.
