4pp., 12mo. Worn and stained on four leaves with wear to extremities resulting in slight loss of text, and with at least one leaf lacking. Parsons begins by informing Caswell that he is sending him a copy of the Examiner containing his article on 'Tennyson's Literary Career': 'It was sent to the Editor only a few days after the poet's death when I knew nothing about the title or contents of the new book of poems.' He discusses his plans to insert the article when he republishes his pamphlet (Parsons' 'Tennyson's Life and Poetry' appeared in 1892, with a revised edition the following year). He has 'lately taken the trouble to accumulate a large number of dailies, weeklies and monthlies having articles on Tennyson, and was surprised to find so many mistakes repeated over and over - even by English periodicals. Three of the English papers - The Times, Pall Mall Gazette, and St. James' Gazette, are kept on file in the Public Library of Chicago and are bound for future reference. The British reviews are also bound.' He has also thought of another addition to the pamphlet: 'a collection of stories about Tennyson'. He complains that American libraries 'are slow in the matter of purchasing new books'. He concludes by stating that he would like 'copies of my pamphlet (second edition) to be plac into the hands of the Poet's remaining brothers and sisters'. In a postscript, initialed 'E.
