The coffin was then carried to the grave in Poets' Corner; the pall-bearers were Mr. Hallam Tennyson, Sir Fitzjames Stephen, the Master of Trinity. Sir Theodore Martin, the Master of Balliol, Archdeacon Farrar, Sir F. Leighton. Professor Masson, Sir George Grove, Sir James Paget, Professor Knight, and Mr. George Smith.
