Replies to my query about the authorship of " Tamerton

Church Tower " have come in with a rapidity, and in a volume, which is itself a rebuke. " Tamerton Church Tower " is one of Coventry Patmore's early poems. To all who have sent the information—including the member of the scholastic profession who observes, perhaps justly, that " of course ' every schoolboy ' is familiar with the title of Coventry Patmore's second volume of poems, pub- lished in 1853 "—I tender my appreciative thanks.
