THESE four "Idylls of the King" are printed in their present form for the convenience of those who possess the former volume. The whole series should be read, and is to-day published, in the following order : THE COMING OF ARTHUR. THE ROUND TABLE. GERAINT AND ENID. MERLIN AND VIVIEN. LANCELOT AND ELAINE. THE HOLY GRAIL. PELLEAS AND ETTARRE. GUINEVERE. THE PASSING OF ARTHUR.* * This last, the earliest written of the poems, is here connected with the rest in accordance with an early project of the author's. IT is my wish that with MESSRS. TICK NOR AND FIELDS alone the right of publishing my books in America should rest. ALFRED TENNYSON. UNIVERSITY PRESS: WELCH, BIGELOW, & Co., |
