"Although his [Tennyson's] authorship of the poem became widely known almost immediately, his name never appeared on the title-page of any single-volume edition of the poem in his lifetime."--Cf. Shatto.
Introductory stanzas are placed before the dedication and have the date of 1849 printed after the last line.
"In some early copies of the first edition, occur two printer's errors which were corrected in later copies. Line 13 of page 2 is printed 'And gazing on the sullen tree' for 'And gazing on thee, sullen tree'. Line 3 on page 198 is printed 'To make old baseness picturesque' for 'To make old bareness picturesque'."--Cf. Wise.
Contains 129 numbered sections in addition to an introductory poem and the concluding Epithalamium.
