RICHARD III NO TYRANT

Henry Cabot Lodge in Scribner's.1
His deformity is a great feature in
Shakespeare, and is used with all
Shakespeare's knowledge of human ma
ture to explain much of what would
otherwise be incredible. 1t is the bit
terneSs of the deformed which makes
Richard hate the world, which hardens
his cruelty and sharpens his already
keen edged ambition with the desire to
overcome the scorn of mankind for de-
fects he could not help, by reaching a
place where he could put the world un-
der his feet. Yet there is but little bet
ter evidence of his deforElity than there
is OF his having been born with teeth.
1t is hardly necessary to call witnesses
to prove such triviality as this, but it
is easily done, and the REPUTATION is
complete. No contemporary other than
RouS even alludes to Richards defOrm-
ity, and these others who are silent are
the only writers of real authority.
Fabyan, the Londoner. who must have
seen Richard often. and who was a
Lancastrian, says nothing of any de-
formity. The Croyland Chronicler. a
member of Edward Tvs council, is
equally silent, and SO, too, is Confines,
although he twice speaks of Edward
as the handsomest prince he had seen,
thus showing that ne noted physical
appearance. Stowe said he had talked
with old men who had seen Richard,
and they declared that he was of bod
lily shape, comedy enough, but of low
stature" Even ROus himself, in his
portrait of Richard, indicates no de-
formity. The portraits indeed-and
there are several authentic examples
show US a man without any trace
either IN expression or feature, OF bod
| lily malformation. The face Is strlk-
| ing one, strong high bred, intellectual
rather stern, perha ps, and little hard
! in the lines, but not in the least cruel OF
malignant, and with a prevailing air OF
! sadness.
