Tennyson's Works. In 1 vol. (C. Began Paul and Co.)—A

very

remarkable edition. It contains all the poet's works, in a handy octavo of less that 700 pages. We dislike double columns ourselves, but the edition is most convenient for reference, and is exquisitely printed.

Mr. Tennyson, however, should not allow this portrait of himself to be 'circulated. It has been softened by the artists until character has almost disappeared.
