What the "Best'' Books Were In 172e
One of the first American papers to con.
tain an allusion was the New England
ConrGnt, says the Boston correspon dent
Of the Critic. When the New England
CourGnt was started in Novem Der, 1871,
only three new papers had preceded it In
America. so that there had been little
opportunity for the printed mention of
Shakespeare, even had the early write RS
been SO inclined. The Courdnt was
started by James Franklin, BROTHER
of Benjamin. The publisher, how
ever. soon had trout BILE with the
civic authorities on account of some
statement he had made in his paper.
and was thrown into prison. Having been
forbidden to continue the publication af-
ter his release, ne evaded the order by
having the name of his younger brother,
Benjamin, placed on the first page
as publisher. Ben Franklin was
then only seventeen years old,
aud had been an apprentice in
the office. Every Que recalls the story
which franklin himself tells of his
original contributions slipped secretly
under the door n night, and publis he'd
as valuable articles supposed to have
been written by some veteran writer.
1t is entirely possible, therefore, that
the allusion TO Shakespeare, made
in the issue Of the July 2. 1922,
came from his pen. The article takes the
form OF a pleasant editorial chat. and
closes with a list of books which the
writer considers of "best advantage" to
him. Since so many eminent people have
recently written their list of favorite or
best" books, readers may be interested
