PORTRAITS OF ENGLISHMEN. IN the Korner Museum, Dresden, there is a collection of sketches of Englishmen : some are plain, some coloured. They were left to the Director by Prof. George Hughes, who died in Dresden. Some are by well-known artists, and all seem to be good likenesses. They have no connexion with Korner or with the War of Liberation, and the Director, Hofrat Dr. Emil Peschel, will be very glad to let their relatives have them, if they will apply to him at the Museum, either person- ally or by letter. No charge will be made beyond cost of carriage. The following are the names, and the dates of the stay in Dresden are in most cases added :

TENNYSONIANA.

IN ' Tennyson, Poet, Philosopher, Idealist,' by Mr. J. Cuming Walters, references are given in chap. xy. p. 289, to Ben Jonson, Smollett, and Prior for examples of the previous use of the 'In Memoriam' metre. "These, however," it is added, "constitute the only instances known of the use of the metre which will evermore be associated with Tennyson's ' In Memoriam.' "

This statement seems to need qualification. The identical metre was used by George Sandys in his ' Paraphrase of the Psalms,' the instances being Psalms xiv., xxx., Ixxiv., and cxl. It was also adopted by Lord Herbert of Cherbury for an ode of thirty-
