Tennyson/ Poet Laureate." A rare survival indeed.

London: L. Booth, 1856. Stated "Second Edition Enlarged". Stated "Second Edition Enlarged" 12mo. Three-quarter calf.

While the author gives a disclaimer in the foreword, the poem devolves into an anti-war protest, at one point decrying Tennyson in this way: "Who clamours for war? --Is it one who is ready to fight? Is it one who will grasp the sword, and rush on the foe with a shout? Far from it; --'t is one of a musing mind, who merely intends to write; He sits at home by his own snug hearth, and hears the storm howl without." No copies on net at time of writing. Near fine.
