Karl Muller-Mylius reports that as
early as 1S43 Professor Gforrer, then IL

the opinion that 1t was impossible for
the historical Shakspere to have writ
ten the Shakespeare dramas.
William H. Furness, one of the ablest
scholars of his times, said II am one of
many who have never been able to bring
the life Of William SHAKESPEARE and the
plays of Shakespeare within planetary

THE English-speaking world has been
humbuggea In this matter long enough"
In Tho Problem of the Shakespeare
Plays" you will find these lines; The
facts of shakspere's life render his au-
thorship of the plays SO inconceivable that
Schlegsl pronounoes 1t a mere fabulous
story, q blind and extravasant error, but
Tested. They boar the stamp Of his char
acter. they reflect his intellect. they speak
his language and mirror his 1ife."
6ir James P. Wilde. member Of the
house Of lords, has written a Judicial
Summing Up Of the facts In the Bacon
Shakspere controversy, and says: ut
is desperately hard, nay, impossible. to
believe that this uninstructed, untutored
youth, as he came from Stratford, should
have written the plays; and almost as
hard, as 1t seems to me. to believe that
he should have rendered himself capable
Of writing them by elaborate study after
ward. The difficulty of imagining this
young man to have converted himself in
a few years from a state bordering on
ignorance into a deeply read student,
master of French and italian. as we'll as
of Greek and Latin and capable Of quot
ing and borrowing from writers in all
these languages, Is almost insuperablo.
His name once removed from the oontro-
versy. there will not, think, be much
question as to the lawyer to whose pen
the Shakespeare plays are to be attrib-
uted."
