ΤΟ ALFRED & EMILY TENNYSON AT FARRINGFORD, ISLE OF WIGHT. Your name is loved and honoured in a Kingdom which extends far beyond the sleepy silver confines of the little Island where we have all been so happy at times, living round about your home. Allegiance to you comes as an inheritance to me and mine from one who was himself much loved, much honoured. The most generous and the greatest can render best tribute unto Cæsar; others whose tribute is less worth, but who have lived under his kind and noble rule during long years of unchanging countenance and friendship, can at least love the name of Tennyson and write it with gratitude and tenderest respect.
