Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes and Marginalia: Illustrative of the Public Life and Works of Alfred Tennyson, Poet Laureate
Kind friend - (for, knowing his neces sities and sad strait, he who so addresses you resumes the old method) - to you I dedicate this book. Little claim to con sideration from the public can be made upon this tri?ing production. The writer has carefully gathered little notices and facts regarding the Laureate, and can only claim as his the chain that strings the beads together. As old Montaigne says, I have gathered a poesie of other men's ?owers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own He fears many things he fears the accusation of endea vouring to place himself under the shadow of a great name he fears what may be said of contemporary biography. The mans con sciot recti, however, in both cases remains.
