task remarkably equipped and still more re-
markably aided Tennyson encouraged him to
prepare the anthology. giving him advice and
suggestions INCREASINGLY Before undertaking
the book Palgrave had been educated at the
Charterhouso ard at Balio and Exeter COL

private secretary to Mr.. Gladstone; later he
was the vice principal OF Kneller Hall Train

anthology he was an examiner and an as

The first edition OF The Golden Treasury"
came from the press in 1861. Almost instantly
it took rank az the best anthology OF English
verse that had ever appeared. Again and again
1t was reissued, but With no additions until
1890 when a few new poems were incorporated
in the text. Since then successive editions nave
remained unatered, Mr. Palgravc preferring
