Excerpt from Tennyson for the Young Poetry and Prose by young people is at this moment most in danger. Rather does the Editor hope that this little book may become a favourite when the school hours are over, on a bench in the summer garden, or on a sofa in the winter evenings that it may be taken up again and again because of its delightfulness, and not because a coming lesson already casts its shadow before'; and that it may serve to illustrate that most certain truth that the wisest education may be in pro gress where any thought or idea of education is least present. And though the sympathetic voice and educated intelligence of mother or elder sister, reading these poems aloud, will often be found helpful, still there is hardly a poem here included that will not reveal some thing of its meaning and beauty to the very youngest by 'its own radiant light.'
