The Critic.
It has been often asserted that Tennyson
hated Americans, but those of US who have
had the privilege of personal acquaintance
with him know this to be false. He wrote

wholly without foundation, though it is
true that have protested against the man
ner in which some of the American pub
fishers have pilfered my work. In letter
to IAN unknown correspondent" in this
country, who had sent him a poem, he
wrote: IT thank you for your poem.
The feeling of American brotherhood which
it bespeaks cannot but be welcome to an
Englishman" He himself expressed the
same feeling in not few of his poems.
When he received an album of his own
verses copied by some young pupils in a
Brooklyn public school; he wrote to them
thus: "Such kindly memorials yours
make me hope that though the national
bond between England and America was
broken, the natural one of blood and lam
guage may bind us closer and closer from
century to century," And when the Critic
printed a number in celebration of Lowelrs
SEVENTEEN birthday, he wrote to the edi-
tors:
ST thank you for asking me to be among
the numberless number of those who greet
Mr. Lowell on his SEVENTEEN birthday. I
wish that l had seen more of him while
he was among us. All blessings upon him
