Cambridge: John Smith for the University Press, 1829. First Edition.

[3] pages. Tennyson's second published work, presented in company with 
the other Chancellor's prize-winners of the year, and the first to 
appear under his own name. Tennyson was too shy to read his 
prize-winning poem in blank verse aloud in the Senate House and asked 
Charles Merivale to undertake the reading of his work as well as 
Merivale's own Latin poem, also published here. William Harris Arnold's 
copy, with his small bookplate on the inside of the front wrapper. 
Uncommon in original wrappers. Some fraying to the spine of the wrappers 
with loss, minor creasing. Near Fine. (#021640)        $750
