TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

EARL OF SELBORNE.

MY DEAR SELBORNE,

To you, the honoured Chancellor of our own day, I dedicate this dramatic memorial of your great predecessor;--which, altho' not intended in its present form to meet the exigencies of our modern theatre, has nevertheless--for so you have assured me--won your approbation. Ever yours, TENNYSON.
