1t is remarkable that of Shakespeare, the
greatest genius of modern times, the worlt
knows personally less than of any other man o
Rark Of his age. His birth, parentage, earl
elucation, habits, are unknown-nor have W,
any satisfactory records of his mature life VIVA
manner of man he was, who can say? Som
viii have it that his father was a butcher, an,
be, a kind of rowdy; some, that he was no on
man, but many; some, that he was Bacon o
Raleigh. Mr.. Payne Collier thinks he was al
attorneys clerk, quite respectable and well-in
iorned, and this Letter of Lord Campbell is a.
ingenious analysis of the plays Of Shakespeare
intended i" give countenance to that idea, a
though the SPACIOUS lawyer frankly admits thai
as to the question of his education and breed
ing no positive opinion can be formed. TIL
critical examination of Shakespeare, however
from legal standpoint, is exceedingly enter
tanning.
