The Grandmother's Apology. (With an illustration by J. E. Millais.) Once-a-Week, July 16, 1859.
Reprinted, under the abridged title of "The Grandmother," in the "Enoch-Arden" volume (1864). This is the poem which Tennyson, many years later, is supposed to have read, by special request, before the company of crowned heads and royal personages, who met in 1888 at Copenhagen, when Tennyson arrived there on a yachting voyage with Mr. Gladstone.
The illustration by Millais is much more careful than most of his similar drawings on wood at that period, and, being of such exceptional excellence, it seems a pity it should be entombed in an old volume of a forgotten periodical.
