Présentation de l'éditeur

Tennyson Land, it excites a deeper interest in the poets work. To myself it is a memento of an enjoyable holiday, and of the forming of new ties of friendship among those whose pride it is to dwell in the poets land and to assist in any effort, however humble, to arrive at a true understanding of his poems. My thanks are due to many such. Mr. C. J. Caswell, of Horncastle, has provided me with photographs, by means of which this volume is illustrated ;the Rev. W. W. Hopwood, head-master of Louth Grammar School, Mr. C. M. Nesbitt, Mr. J. William Wilson, and Mr. Wilson C. Forman, of Louth, have individually supplied me with facts of interest, and allowed me to examine documents in their private possession. Mr. Clarence James, also of Louth, kindly permitted me to make use of his picture of Somersby Brook ;while Mr. Wilson gave me the privilege of utilising his sketch of Louth Grammar School as it appeared fifty years ago. It will be observed that I have, as often as possible, given descriptions of scenery and made allusions to persons and customs in the poets own words. The reason will be obvious. October,
