TWICKENHAM.

Famous as the Abode of Many
English Literary Giants.
The place to which the lover of Eng
lish literature will sooner or later turn
his steps is Twickenham. No other
small town can boast Of having been
the residence and beloved abode Of 50
many famous literary lights. With it
are associated the immortal names Of
Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift, Cay
Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibson, Bos
well, johnson, Tennyson and Dickens
Surely this is enough to make any
place doubly immortal! Twickenham
was well nicknamed by Horace Wal
pole the Baiae, or Tivoli, of England,
for it has truly been to London what
Baiae was to ancient Rome IN
far higher degree. The big red brick
house in Montpelier road where ALFRED
Tennyson lived for SO many years OF
his earlier married life was the one in
which many of his earlier poems were
written. There his son Lionel, the Sec
ond Lord Tennyson, was born, and
there the author Of "Idylls" entertained
many Of his literary friends and &C.
Quaintances That house should surely
be sacred to all lovers Of English lit
erature, which saw the dawn Of in Me-
moriam," which witnessed those de-
lightful gatherings graced by Tenny'
son, Italian and kindred spirits within
It's walls. It is to-day. called "Tenny'
son House. Westminster Gazette.
