heap of stones with Runic inscriptions upon

The whole history Of Hamlet is carefully
and minuey detailed; but these are the leac ing
historical features on which Shakespeare un-
ded his teautifll tragedy; and, rade and dis
gushing as many Of the incidents in Hamle's
life were, the mode in which Shakespeare has
treated them i, one Of the greatest proofs OF
his SPLENDID genius. According to Saxn,
Hamlet lived about four centuries before Christ.
