Excerpt from TennysonianaThe Preface of the young poets informs us that these pieces were written, not conjointly, but indivi dually, which may account for their difference of style and matter. In spite of this assurance, it is in some cases not easy to settle with anything like cer tainty the authorship of a particular piece. An atten tive comparison of these poems with later acknowledged writings of Alfred and Charles Tennyson has, however, been rewarded by the discovery of certain parallel pas sages which, we think, will enable us to apportion a certain number of them to their respective authors, without much hesitation or doubt.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
