A PHOTOGRAPHIC FAC-SIMILE OF THE Fo-
LILO EDITION OF SHAKESPEARE. Published
by Funk & Wagnalls New York and for sale by
VIM. III. Balantyne, Washington. Price $3.50
This is an exact reproduction to the minutest
detail OF the original only the pages are photo
graphed to a crown Svo size. Donuelly's
Shakspere cipher is based wholly on this
world-iamous folio edition. The edition has
long been perplexity to scholars. IL is full of
the most peculiar punctuation, bracketing, odd
spelling and paging. The cipher depends on
these, and invariably on the number of lines on
page Any other than a fac-simile edition
would not enable one to trace for himself the
correctness of Donnelly's astonishing claim that
Bacon has concealed by complex cipher in
the lines of Shakspere an extended secret
history. There is no work in the whole range
OF English literature at all approaching near to
this famous first folio edition of Shakspere
in interest and critical value

Price So
Southey is one of the poets that every person
hears continually mentioned, and yet no one
as a rule, knows much about his personality
i He belonged to the great literary epoch of By
ron, Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Moore and
was held in his day to be on the same plane
with these illustrious writer's. But the present
generation knows little of him. In this book
to which Mr.. Dennis has given his careful
study, there are brought together extracts from
Southey's correspondence, selected from thu
great mass Of material at hand, covering every
period of the poets life. It's aim is to give
clear idea of the man and of his literary anC
social environment during nearly 20 years o
his existence. 1t is rich in "reminiscences o
the other great men of that day, and very in
teresting in every way.
