which looks toward Casarism and has nothing
to do with party politics. Mr.. Tennysep has
usually been content to accept England as
country where freedom broadens slowly
down. and there is really no proof in his
works that he would prevent freedom from
broadening down to the extension of the house
hold franchise in the counties. HIS poems are
not much concerned with disestablishment,
and he appears so far to favor the Church of
England as to admit that "the parson said
what he ought to ha' said" Nor does he speak
otherwise than respectfully even of the ''fat-
faced curate," who "held that God made the
woman for the man" On the whole question
of the higher education of woman, The Prin-
cess gives forth an uncertain sound; while
The Brook throws no light on Mr.. Tennyson's
opinion of the water supply of London, and
The Miller's Daughter is silent about the malt
tax. In short, on a rapid review of Mr.. Ten
nyson's poems, there seems to be no proof that
he is committed to either party in the state. 1t

vatives of Glasgow should claim the Laureate
