Ruskin speaks of these illustrations in the Appendix to his " Elements of Drawing" (London, 1857). It appears that shortly after the appearance of the book, Edward Moxon, the publisher, died, and the re- mainder of the edition was transferred to Routledge, who issued it in a cheaper form. The earlier edition is the one to secure. IB lO THE GROLIER CLUB. 21 n^HE TRUE AND THE FALSE: Four A Idylls of the King. London, Edward Moxon b' Co., 1859. Not mentioned by Shepherd. Says the owner: " Only one other volume with the same title is known. This is in the South Kensington Museum. It differs however, in that the second Idyll has its title changed from ' Nimue ' to 'Vivien.' The present copy, therefore, is unique. On the issue of the first edition to the public the title of the book was changed to ' The Idylls of the King.' " Contains the idylls of Enid, Nimue, Elaine, and Guine- vere, the first two of which had been privately printed in 1857, under the title " Enid and Nimue; or. The True and False." Of this 1857 volume 6 copies were printed, the sole survivor being in the British Museum. The name Nimue, still retained in the present (1859) volume, is changed, for the sake of euphony, to Vivien, in the edition of the Idylls published in the same year (see next entry, No. 22), and there are other variations. " Enid and Nimue" is described on p. 224 of " Literary Anecdotes of the 19th Century," vol 2. 22 IDYLLS OF THE KING. London, Ed^ ^ ward Moxon ^ Co., 1859. See notes after preceding entry. Shepherd tells us (" BibHography" 1896, p. 36): "For the story of ' Enid ' Tennyson was largely indebted to Lady Charlotte Guest's translation of the Welsh ' Mabi- nogion,' the details, names, and even words, being closely followed and reproduced." 23 T^HE SAILOR BOY. London, Emily A Faithfull df Co., i%6i. " 25 copies for the author's use." Not mentioned in Shepherd's "Bibliography" (1896). "One of the very rarest of Tennyson's books," says the owner. WORKS OF ALFRED LORD TENNYSON. II 24 'FHE VICTORIA REGIA: a volume of A original contributions in poetry and prose. Edited by Adelaide A. Procter. Lon- don, Emily Faithfidl ^ Co., 1861. Contains " The Sailor Boy," reprinted, with some shght alterations, in "Enoch Arden, etc.," 1864 (No. 29). 25 pOEMS. MDCCCXXX. MDCCCXXXIII. -^ Privately printed, 1862. A partial reprint, probably issued by J. C. Hotten, of "Poems, chiefly Lyrical" (1830) and "Poems" (1833). It is believed there is also a Canadian reprint. Shep- herd does not give this title, but lists, under the same date, " Suppressed Poems of Tennyson. A pamphlet privately printed under the supervision of J. D. Campbell, 1862. ' He cites also the case of "Tennyson v. Hotten" (1862), containing an order of the Court of Chancery for the sup- pression of an unauthonzed reprint of poems by Tennyson, and adds: " I never saw a copy of the book, and do not know its contents." 26 A WELCOME. London, Edward Moxon ^ &> Co., 1863. Addressed to the Princess Alexandra of Denmark, on her arrival in England and her marriage with the Prince of Wales. Reprinted, with considerable alterations and additions, in " Enoch Arden, etc.," 1864 (No. 29). 27 A WELCOME TO her Royal Highness, -i*- THE Princess of Wales, from the Poet Laureate. Owen Jones, Illuminator. Day 6^ Son, lithographers to the Qiieen, 1863. An illuminated edition of the poem, not mentioned by Shepherd. 12 THE GROLIER CLUB. 28 TDYLLS OF THE HEARTH. London, i- Echvard Moxon &" Co., 1864. ShepherdC Bibliography", 1896, p. 39), says: "This is the same as the regular (following) edition of 'Enoch Arden,' but with a different title-page." However, " Enoch Arden, etc." (1864), to which Shepherd here refers, con- tains "A Welcome to Alexandra," which is wanting in " Idylls of the Hearth." The present copy is printed on proof paper, numbered " IV " in ink at the head of the title-page (probably indicating the fourth proof ), and bears the author's manuscript corrections throughout. The title of the various trial copies was finally changed to " Enoch Arden, etc.," on the issue of the first edition. Various such instances of Tennyson's careful manner of working may be found; Shepherd speaks of it on p. 16 of his "Bibliography", with respect to "In Memoriam" and " Maud " (pp. 18 and 21), and Hallam Tennyson, in the new biography, referring to " Aylmer's Field," says : " He often pointed out how hard he had found such and such a passage, how much work and thought it had cost him." On the other hand, it seems worthy of note that " Cross- ing the Bar," in the poet's words, " came in a moment." 29 pNOCH ARDEN, etc. London, Edward Cf Moxon df Co., 1864. 30 [A SELECTION from the Works of Al- -Tx FRED Tennyson.] Author's page-proofs, with his manuscript corrections. Title-page wanting. Head-bands and tail-pieces pasted in. " Probably unique," says the owner. 31 A SELECTION from the Works of -Lx. Alfred Tennyson. London, Edward Moxon ^ Co., 1865. " Moxon's Miniature Poets " " Contains some original poems previously unpublished." — Shepherd, "Biblio- graphy" (1896), p. 40.

Printed at the private press of Sir Ivor Bertie Guest, Exceedingly rare, the edition having been very small. It is stated that the signs ==, $, \, 7, which appear before the date on the title-page of both this and " The Victim" are the private marks of the amateur compositors, viz.: Lord Wimborne, Lady Layard, Lady C. Schreiber, and Mrs. E. Ponsonby. The text differs considerably from that of the edition issued in 1871 with Arthur Sullivan's music (see No. 37). T,2, ^PHE VICTIM.
