Excerpt from Bibliography: Of the First Editions in Book Form of the Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Tennyson more than any of his contemporaries was continually altering and revising or adding new lines to his poems after they were published. He also frequently would restore a poem after it had been once suppressed, or lines after they had been struck out. For these reasons some books, perhaps most noticeably The Princess, will be found repre sented in this set by a series of editions. To sup ply every volume which contains such alteration would extend the set beyond the space likely to be allotted to it by any other than the most exacting student of Tennyson's works. The most important of them have, however, been included. In making these additions the point has not been forgotten that the average collector's shelf room is limited. For this reason most of the books to which Tennyson contributed a few lines or a single poem have been excluded. The fact that Tennyson contributed four lines to Jebb's Primer of Greek Literature makes that book a first edition of Tennyson. It is not, however, a book that is likely to interest a collector.
