[44] _London Times_, March 12, 1884. An item in the _Chicago Herald_, April 5, 1892, refers to Tennyson as "Baron d'Eyncourt." Thus he is called in _Lives of English Authors_ (1890). His title is given as "baron Tennyson d'Eyncourt d'Aldworth," by Larousse (_Dictionnaire Universel_, 2d. Supplement, p. 1914); and as "Baron Tennyson von Altworth," by Brockhaus (_Con-Lex._, vol. xv., p. 559), and by Meyer (_Kon-Lex._, vol. xv., p. 589). The _Illustrirtes Kon-Lex._ says he was offered a Baronetcy in 1875. The _International Cyclopedia_ says he was made a baron in 1883, as does Alden's _Cyc. of Univ. Lit._ and other compilations. From this showing it would appear that French and German erudition is about on a par with English and American.
