November .. 1888. and was the son Of
tho Rev. William Henry Furness. a Uni
,arIan clergyman and author. He was
graduated from Harvard In 1854. and then
studied In Germany. receiving the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy from Halle
T-pon his return TO this country he took
I'm the study Of law, and in 1859 was ad-
rnItted to the bar. He contributed to
Trobst & Hays Practice on Ejectment,"
and was a member OF the Seybert COM
mission to investigate modern spiritual
ism.
II was Dr. Furness's variorum edition
of Shakespeare. however. that brought
his name prominently before the public.
The first volume of this work. Romeo
and Juliet" appeared in 1871. and was fol-
lowed at short intervals by other plays,
the last of the series being Antony and
Cleopatra" which was published in 1907.
Associated with him in his Shake
spearian labors were his wife, herself au-
thor OF a Concordance" 10 Shakespeare.
and his son Horace Howard Furness, jr.
"dUJ ShoN1otVo'S ''S'NS'
In eouippins himself for his work Dr..
Furness gathered together the most valu-
able collection of Shakespeariana ever
assembled by an individual One wing
Of his home ar Wallingford was given
up entirely to the relics. works and me-
MORALS Of Shakespeare. Here might be
found case after case containing all
that had been written about the great
poet. together with priceless editions of
his works. DR.. Furness even carried his
real so far as TO make it point to get
hold Of as many as possible of the souvc-
Mrs Of the poet himself and OF those
who had 10 do with the editing or acting
Of his plays.
One relic TO which DR.. Furness always
pointed with pride was a pair of gloves
which had been traced authenticaly TO
shakespeare's possession They were
kept in glass case, and appeared 10 be
excellently preserved. The gloves were
once owned by David Garrick, and after
wards by Mrs. Siddons and Mrs. Kem0le.
They were received by Garrick from one
John Ward, OF Leominster. who main
tained that they had been given him In
I7S by William Shakespeare, a descendant
Of the poets family.
". ]. Rolfe, the well known Shake
spearian scholar. few years before his
death, said: when the literary history
OF the nineteenth century shall be writ
ten the palm for work on Shakespeare
must indisputably be awarded to the
New Variorum Edition Of DR.. Horace
Howard Furness. The labor of third
Of q century has already been expended
upon IT,"
The high place DIR. Furness occupied IN
the world of learning was won by hfe-
time devotion TO study OF the writings
OF the Bard of Avon.
