Three pretty little volumes of verse are published by Mr.

Henry Frowdo at is. net each. These are Tennyson's In Memoriam, Moments with Matthew Arnold, and Moments with Longfellow. Each has a portrait of the poet; possibly it would have been better to have had these without colour. Anyhow, the Tennyson portrait can hardly be right in the colour given to the poet's hair :— " Ere childhood's flaxen ringlet turned

To black and brown on kindred brows."

" Block " was, we think, Alfred's colour, brown that of Charles. This is almost " flaxen " still.
