The records, which have never been heard in public before, were made in 1889 by two men sent over from America by Thomas) Edison.

They were played by the poet's grandson Mr. Charles Tennyson one Saturday at Aldworths, the port's lust | hume, to an audience of about 250 members of the Poetry Snelety in- vited to Aldworth by the Maharaja of Baroda..

There is a mistaken idea to-day that the magic of poetry in achieved by, obscurity.
