A st. Louis correspondent writes: In
8 dismal den of an Office on Chestnut
street has Nehemiah Holmes, ESQ, now
Judge of the Supreme Court of this State,
for the past fifteen years been studying
and preparing a book to prove that the
plays of Shakespeare were written by
Lord Bacon. The following piece of
history, not generally known, bears upon
that point. When Lord Bacon was
solicitor General, prior to his appoint
men as Attorney General, he was re-
quGsted by his Majesty to prefer charges
against Lord Essex. Among other ale
cations there was one declaring, that he
was the author of a certain seditious play,
entitled Richard, calculated to excite dis
content and riot among good and loval
subjects Bacon declined prosecuting the
charges, using the following significant
language: Whereas, il hath been bruited
abroad that l myself am the author OF
said play of Richard, it would therefore
be exceedingly unseemly in me to pro
him for that which is charged upon
me; so that even in Bacon's day the
theory was prevalent.
