Présentation de l'éditeur
This volume was written by Mr. Locker at different periods during the last fifteen years of his life, and was in type at the date of his death, which happened at Eowfant on May 30, 1895. A mongst the short biographical sketches there was included one of the late Lord Tennyson ;but Mr. Locker, shortly before his death, gave this sketch to the present Lord, who will include it in the forthcoming biography of his illustrious father. I have added the A ppendices, for, though they relate to Mr. Locker sgreat-grandfather and grandfather, they describe traits of character as noticeable in Frederick Locker as ever they can have been in John or William. Augustine Bikkell. Lincoln s Inn :J anuary 30, 1896.
