concluding poem, or Epithalamium, was written in 1842, and the Introductory lines bear the date of 1849, in which year the work was presumably printed. I had the opportunity, in 1884, of inspecting a set of early proof-sheets of "In Memoriam" (without the title), which contained only 118 numbered sections, with readings frequently differing considerably from those of the published edition. A detailed account of this set of proof-sheets appeared in a paper of mine, entitled "The Genesis of 'In Memoriam,'" contributed to Walford's Antiquarian Magazine, in 1887.
The Princess: a Medley. By Alfred Tennyson. Third Edition. London: Edward Moxon, 1850, green cloth, pp. 177.
In this Edition the poem was considerably altered from beginning to end, and in some parts re-written. A considerable number of lines, especially in a long speech of the Princess, were omitted. The six intercalary songs, and the lines of blank verse, forming a sequel to the Prologue, which follow Lilia's Song, were added for the first time.
