Excerpt from Tennyson Round has come to us. It has the true ring 'of the age in which it was produced, - the age of love and wine; the age when as many amorous ditties were written as business letters now-a-days. History was not respected truth was not sought after; chivalry was esteemed virtue; and a scarred face was the witness to the honour and probity of its owner. Yet the wassailers of these days were refined compared with the bar barians of Arthur's time. Civilization had changed the form and features of the more modern race. But poor Guenivere lived too near to the outskirts of savagedom to be as beautiful as a houri, as lovely and enchanting as Heloise. The wand of the enchanter has never been more needed than in the case of Arthur's savage consort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
