Sinopsis
Excerpt from My Confidences: An Autobiographical Sketch Addressed to My Descendants
Amongst the short biographical sketches there was included one of the late Lord Tennyson but Mr. Locker, shortly before his death, gave this sketch to the present Lord, who will include it in the forthcoming biography of his illustrious father.
I have added the Appendices, for, though they relate to Mr. Locker's great-grandfather and grand father, they describe traits of character as notice able in Frederick Locker as ever they can have been in John or William.

Excerpt from My Confidences: An Autobiographical Sketch Addressed to My Descendants
However, it is useless to quarrel with one's im mediate descendants besides, I have an immense admiration for mine. But in this little matter I cannot trust them: they would make havoc of my hobby. I hardly know which is the more trying to Inc - their languid endurance of a family story, or their inaccurate repetition of it.
