Is the poem "The Lord of Burleigh" founded on fact or not? In an old
review of Tennyson in the _Westminster and Foreign Quarterly_, it is
stated to refer to the "mesalliance of the Marquis of Westminster;" but
any such notion is denied in the article on "Ballad Poetry" in the last
number of that journal.
