Plumptre, James. 1770-1832. No. 1 in **G.3937.13 Observations on Hamlet; and on the motives which most probably
induced Shakspeare to fix upon the story of Amleth, from the Danish chronicle of Saxo Grammaticus, for the plot of that tragedy: being an attempt to prove that he designed it as an in- direct censure on Mary Queen of Scots. Cambridge. Burges. MDCCXCVI. (4), 44 pp. 22¢cm.,, in 4s. Pp. 16-19 are devoted to the Winter’s tale, urging that it was intended as “an indirect apology for Anne Boleyn,” in compliment to Queen Eliza- beth, her daughter.
