THE BIBLIOGRAPHY
[1850-

London: Edward Moxon, 1850. With the addition of the Examiner poem of 1849, "After reading a Life and Letters."

This is the last edition including the poem of "The Skipping-Rope," omitted in all subsequent editions of the Minor Poems, and in all Collected Editions of the Poet's Works.

Original unpublished poem, of eight lines, by Alfred Tennyson, not reprinted in any of his volumes, contributed to the Manchester Athenæum Album, small quarto, 1850.

"Here often, when a child, I lay reclined"—

My attention was first directed to this poem in 1875, by a notice written by Mr. W. E. Axon, where it was quoted in extenso, which appeared in Cope's Tobacco Plant, a pleasant monthly folio journal of literary and other gossip, published at Liverpool, It is included in the little volume of sixty-four pages, "The Lover's Tale and other Poems," issued for private circulation in that year.
