Tennant, William, LL.D., a poet, and one of the most eminent of modern linguists, was b. in AnstrutherEaster, county of Fife, Scotland, May 15, 1784; entered the University of St. Andrew's, 1799, pursued his collegiate studies for two years, and subsequently became a clerk to his brother, a corn-factor, first at Glasgow, and afterwards at Anstruther-Easter; schoolmaster at Dunino, 1812-16, and at Lasswade, 1816-19; teacher of Oriental and Classical Languages at the Academy of Dollar, Clackmannanshire, 1819-34; Professor of Oriental Languages at St. Mary's College, St. Andrew's, 1834, (he also filled the Hebrew chair at Edinburgh College,) until his death, Oct. 15, 1848. 1.

The first edition was neglected for a year, when A. F. Tytler (Lord Woodhouselce) was struck with its merits, and requested of the publisher the name of the author. The second edition was favourably reviewed by Lord Jeffrey in Edin. Rev., Nov. 1814, 174-182. Anster Fair is written in the ottava rima of the Italians, much neglected by English poets since Fairfax's translation of Jerusalem Delivered, in which it was introduced to English readers.

"William Tennant, in his very original poem of Anster Fair,' gave Frere and Byron more than a hint for Whistle-craft' and Beppo; nor is it unjust to say that the imitators have not at all equalled the life, the naïveté, the ludicrous dashed with the Bolemn, and the witty with both, which characterize the poet of Dollar."-ALLAN CUNNINGHAM: Biog. and Crit. Hist. of the Lit. of the Last Fifty Years.

Tennyson, Alfred, D.C.L., the greatest of living poets, (1870,) was b. 1810, at Somersby, Lincolnshire, of which parish the Rev. Dr. George Clayton Tennyson (a descendant of the ancient and noble family of D'Eyencourt, now represented by the poet's uncle, the Rt. Hon. Charles Tennyson D'Eyencourt, M.P.) was Rector. Dr. Tennyson's three eldest sons, Frederick, Charles, and Alfred, were all educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and pupils of the Rev. Dr. Whewell, afterwards Master, then one of the tutors, of that famous seat of learning, which has fitted so many disciples for eminence in scientific lore and literary research. 1828 Frederick Tennyson took the medal for a Greek poem recited at the commencement of that year; in 1829 Alfred gained the Chancellor's medal for his English prize poem (consisting of about 250 lines) of Timbuctoo; also published in 1829; in 1827 Alfred and Charles had published, without their names, a small volume, entitled Poems by Two Brothers, (Simpkin, 12mo, 58.; cr. 8vo, 78. ;) long liber rarissimus. Charles's portion of this collection was preferred by Coleridge to that of Alfred; and in his account of his second visit (in 1848) to Wordsworth, Mr. R. W. Emerson tells us,

"Tennyson he [Wordsworth] thinks a right poetic genius, though with some affectation. He had thought an elder brother of Tennyson at first the better poet, but must now reckon Alfred the true one."-English Traits, Lon., 1857, 166. See TENNYSON, CHARLES.

"I saw Tennyson in London several times. He is decidedly the first of our living poets, and I hope will give the world still

better things. You will be pleased to hear that he expressed, In the strongest terms, his gratitude to my writings."-Wordsworth to Prof. Henry Reed, 1845.

Since this joint venture, Alfred (who succeeded Wordsworth as Poet-Laurate, Nov. 21, 1850, and received the degree of D.C.L. from Oxford in 1855) has given to the world the following volumes.

1. Poems, chiefly Lyrical, Lon., 1830, fp. 8vo. "Mr. Tennyson has made some very touching and some very animating melodies; he is master of musical combinations; his Songs set themselves, and generate their own tunes, as all songs do which are good for any thing."-Westm. Rev., xiv. 210.

"We are extremely pleased with Mr. Tennyson. . . . Some of his scattered thoughts are eminently beautiful."-Lon. Atlas, June 27, 1830.

The volume was commented on by Professor Wilson in Blackwood's Magazine, May, 1832, (xxxi.) 720-741, (repub. in Wilson's Works, vi. 109–152, 1856,) with both praise and censure. In the Noctes Ambrosianæ for the preceding February, Wilson remarks,

"He has a fine ear for melody, and harmony too-and rare and rich glimpses of imagination. He has genius.... . I admire Alfred, and hope-nay, trust-that one day he will prove himself a poet. If he do not-then am I no prophet."-xxxi. 277. See, also, Feb. 1836, (xxxix.) 265.

2. Poems, 1832, (some 1833,) fp. 8vo, pp. 163. Consisting partly of reprints with alterations, partly of new pieces.

"Lately I have been reading some of Alfred Tennyson's second volume, and with profound admiration of his truly lyric and idyllic genius. There seems to me to have been more epic power in Keats, that fiery, beautiful meteor; but they are two most true and great poets."-JOHN STERLING: Letters.

"He has lyrical ease and vigour, and is looked upon by sundry critics as the chief living hope of the Muse."-ALLAN CUNNINGHAM: Biog. and Crit. Hist., 1833.

Reviewed with great severity in Lon. Quar. Rev., xlix. 81-96, and with mingled praise and censure in Lon. Athen., 1832, 770, and Lon. Lit. Gaz., 1832, 772. 3. Poems, 1842, 2 vols. 12mo; 17th ed., 1865, fp. 8vo; Boston (Ticknor & Fields) edits.: 1842, 2 vols. 16mo; Blue and Gold, complete, 1856, 32mo; same, with Idylls of the King, Jan. 1861, 2 vols. 32mo; Cabinet, (uniform with Pickering's Aldine Brit. Poets,) Sept. 1862, 2 vols. 16mo. Tauchnitz of Leipsic publishes Tennyson's poems in 4 vols., in his Copyright Collection of British Authors.

"The first of these two volumes consists of republished poems, and may be regarded, we presume, as all that Mr. Tennyson wished to preserve of his former editions. He has sifted in most cases his earlier harvests, and kept the better grain. There are some additions of verses and stanzas here and there, many minute changes, and also beneficial shortenings and condensations. The second volume, however, is on the whole far advanced in merit beyond the first. There is more clearness, solidity, and certainty of mind visible in it throughout: especially some of the blank-verse poems-a style almost unattempted in the earlier series-have a quiet completeness and depth, a sweetness arising from the happy balance of thought, feeling, and expression, that ranks them among the riches of our recent literature."-Lon. Quar. Rer., Sept. 1842, (lxx.) 395. "Powers are displayed in these volumes, adequate, if we do not deceive ourselves, to the production of a great work; at least, we should find it difficult to say which of the requisite powers is wanting. But they are displayed in fragments and snatches, having no connection, and therefore deriving no light or fresh interest the one from the other. By this their effective value is incalculably diminished."-Edin. Rev., April, 1843, (lxxvii.) 390.

"Two volumes of poems, partly old ones revised and partly new, which placed him at once at the head of contemporary poetry in England, and have kept him there ever since."-Edin. Rev., Oct. 1855, (cii.) art. viii.

human gradually rises higher and higher into the moral."Edin. Rev., Oct. 1849, (xc.) 398, (same in Eclec. Mag., xix. 66.) "The Princess is not a drama, nor is it a fairy-tale in verse, but a fantastic metrical romance. . . . The second title of this lively performance points out its principal object: it is a medley, intermixture of the modes and phrases of all ages, past and and, we must think, a somewhat incongruous one. The fearless present, is a resource better fitted for a brief jeu d'esprit than for a work of this compass; but that is not the worst. The main web of the tale is a gossamer fabric, and can ill sustain the heavy embroidery raised upon it: the low key at which it is pitched indisposes the mind for the higher strains to which the piece changes. . . . The faults of the poem are soon numbered and ticketed: it is more difficult to do justice to its beauties." -Lon. Quar. Rev., Dec. 1847, (lxxxii.) 439, 445, 451.

"However it grew, it is a charming melody; and that purposed anachronism which runs throughout, blending new and old, new theory and old romance, lends to it a perpetual piquancy."-Blackw. Mag., April, 1819, (lxv.) 463.

Taken as a whole, we must pronounce it a beautiful poem, the production of a truly poetical mind, and showing the most indisputable marks of a high artistical power superintending the creation and arrangement and classification of the whole.”— Lon. Gent. Mag., 1848, i. 131.

"Regarding "The Princess,' it is no marvel that such a contrariety of opinion has been expressed by seemingly competent judges. Its beauties and faults are so inextricably interwoven, and the latter are so glaring and many-nay, often apparently so wilful,-that, as a sincere admirer of the genins of Tennyson, I could almost wish the poem had remained unwritten. I admit the excellence of particular passages; but it has neither general harmony of design nor sustained merit of execution.”— D. M. MOIR: Sketches of the Poet. Lit., dc., 3d ed., 1856, 316.

In Memoriam appeared without a name, (see Lon. Gent. Mag., 1850, ii. 59, Lon. Athen., 1850, 629 ;) nor was a name needed.

"Although in some few places this work wants that perfect polish which distinguishes the author's lesser poems, upon the whole it is not only the best specimen of poetical skill which Mr. Tennyson has produced, but it surpasses, in this respect, all poems of equal magnitude written during the past century.”— Edin. Rev., Oct. 1855, (102,) art. viii.

The same periodical also asserts, in another place, that "In Memoriam is the most exquisite creation by any man of genius during the last forty years."

"In Memoriam' comes more intimately home to English sympathies than Lycidas' or Adonais,' and may be pointed to, perhaps, as the one special monody to which beauty of form and feeling have given an universal currency."-Lon. Athen., 1863, i. 85.

"This piece, though full of meanings of abiding value, is ostensibly a brilliant serio-comic jeu d'esprit upon the noise about woman's rights,' which even now ceases to make itself heard anywhere but in the refuge of exploded European absurdities beyond the Atlantic. . . . Mr. Tennyson has proved himself to be possessed of artistic faculties which put it out of the question that he should himself be thoroughly satisfied with this performance."-Edin. Rev., Oct. 18:5, (cii.) art. viii. "The abundant grace and descriptive beauty which meet the superficial eye constitute but its external charm. Studying his work with that attention which the labours of a true poet should always command, we soon discover that, while fantastic In its subject, it is eminently human in sentiment, and that the

"We have at last received Maud, and we have risen from its perusal dispirited and sorrowful. It is not a light thing nor a trivial annoyance to a sincere lover of literature to have it forced upon his conviction that the man who has unquestionably occupied for years the first place among the living British poets is losing ground with each successive effort."-Block w. Mag., Sept. 1855, (78.) See, also, Sept. 1856, (Ixxx.: Macaulay.)

"We have in Maud' scarcely more than a residuum of Alfred Tennyson; the wide sweeping intellect, the mild philosophy, the healthy pathos, the wondrous melody, have almost all vanished, and left little more than a narrow scorn which piques itself on its scorn of narrowness, and a passion which clothes itself in exaggerated conceits."- Westm. Rev., Oct. 1855: (Contemp. Lát.)

"We now turn with diminished pleasure from In Memoriam' to Mr. Tennyson's recently published volume of ‘Mand, and other Poems; for the qualities we appreciate most highly in the former are precisely those which are most wanting in the latter." -Elin, Rer., Oct. 1855, (102,) art. viii.

"Even in the wildest rhapsodies of 'The Princess' Mr. Tennyson has never been so careless, visionary, and unreal as in this poetical treatment of a plain, popular, and literal theme. “Maud' is an allegory of the War. Little more is to be said in the way of criticism:-and that little we add with great reluctance. This volume is not worthy of its author."-Lon. Athen., 1855, 895. See, also, Lon. Lit.

We had designed to close this article with an array of critical opinions on Tennyson's characteristics as a poet from eminent authorities on both sides of the water, but we have already occupied as much space as we can well afford. A few lines, however, must find a place.

corded their verdicts (the first in 1844, and the last Two prominent American critics, both of whom rebefore 1849) prior to the appearance of In Memoriam,

differed very greatly in their estimate of Tennyson's poetical genius:

"I am not sure that Tennyson is not the greatest of poets. The uncertainty attending the public conception of the term poet' alone prevents me from demonstrating that he is. Other bards produce effects which are, now and then, otherwise produced than by what we call poems; but Tennyson an effect EDGAR A. POE: Literati; Marginalia, cexiv. which only a poem does. His alone are idiosyncratic poems."

"The peculiarities of his style have attracted attention, and his writings have enough intrinsic merit, probably, to secure him a permanent place in the third or fourth rank of English contemporary poets."-DR. R. W. GRISWOLD: Poets and Poetry of England.

But Dr. Griswold lived long enough to write,

"Of the living poets of England, Tennyson at this time occupies the highest rank; and he is destined to a wide and high regard."

"He has opened a new vein in English poetry, and shown that real genius, even in the most advanced stages of society, can strike a fresh chord, and, departing from the hackneyed ways of imitation, charm the world by the conceptions of original thought. His imagination, wide and discursive as the dreams of fancy, wanders at will, not over the real so much as the ideal world. The grottoes of the sea, the caves of the mermaid, the realms of heaven, are alternately the scenes of his song. His versification, wild as the song of the elfin king, is broken and irregular, but often inexpressibly charming. Sometimes, however, this tendency leads him into conceit; in the endeavour originality, however, about his conceptions, which contrast to be original, he becomes fantastic. There is a freshness and strangely with the practical and interested views which influ

enced the age in which he lived, and contributed not a little to their deserved success. They were felt to be the more charming
