study Of tho Legitimate" lie has been
for many years diligent ShRkspearean
student, and possesses q fine collection OF
manuscripts aud works explaining tho
great bard. An essay written by him while
n college student, comparing Mr.. lrving's
and Mr.. Booths conception aud perform
ance Of Hamlet, won him much praise, and
ranks among the finest bits of American
dramatic criticism. His comparison of
Shakspeares "Cordolia' with Sophoclos'
"AntigOne" an effort which glistened with
rhetorical gems, placed him in the front
rank of scholarly writers on the drama.
IL is so rare that members of the profession
find time to devote to thoughtful and crti-
cal writing that 10 is a pleasure to record
an instance of one who does not allow his
engagements to draw his mind from an
earnest study of the more serious elements
of his profession. IL is safe TO predict that
ere many yoare Mr. Luckoy will have At
tainod an enyiahle position in his chosen
profession.
