Note 13 — TENNYSON’S LIFE AND POETRY.

The Hon. Lionel Tennyson was attacked by jungle fever during a visit to India, and died on board the Chusan, near Aden, April 20, 1886, aged thirty-two. He was a profound student of dramatic poetry, and would have won a name for himself in literature. For several years he was connected with the India office, and prepared a masterly report on “The Moral and Material Condition of India,” for 1881-82. In 1878, he married the accomplished daughter of Frederick Locker. The eldest of their three sons is the “golden-haired Ally” who inspired the well-known verses of his grandfather.
