A Bibliography of Tennyson. By the Author of " Tennysoniana."

(Printed for Subscribers.):— An interesting pamphlet this, especially in the matter of pirated editions, and poems, or parts of poems, suppressed by the author. "The Skipping-Rope," for instance, disappeared from the edition of 1851. It will be remem- bered that this was one of the pieces of which " Christopher North" fell foul. The "Bibliography" is preceded by a short notice of the compiler, the late Mr. Richard Horne Shepherd. We have no objection to the kindly view which the author takes of his subject, but we are not shaken in our belief that Mr. Shepherd did a great deal of mischief by his passion for disinterring what had been better left buried.
