The HALF-DoLLAR TENNYsoN. N.-The
nine different editions of the Laurete's poetry
which Ticknor and Fields have hitherto pub
shed seem insufficient to meet all the require
ments of the reading public. Their Diamond
Edit,n. published two years ago, was a miracle
Of cheap, elegant, and compact book-making.
1t is quite outdone, however, in cheapness and
compactness, by the Ha!f Dollar Edition Of Ten
nyson's Comp lete Poems, just published by
Ticknor and Fields. This edition is from new
types, set in double columns is remarkable for
beauty, and no danger TO the eyes need be feared
from reading it. 1t is neatly and durably bound
in handsome green paper cover, with an ex-
cellent vignettee head of Tennyson. No one
can now complain that Tennyson is beyond bis
reach, when his entire poems can be had in
handsome form for fifty cents.
These books can be procured of any bookseller,
or dire city from Ticknor & Fields Boston.
