Editors Table

James Phlnney Baxter in his Noluni-
nous work. The Greatest OF Literary
Problems" not only sweeps Shakes
reare entirely aside and credits the
works OF Shakespeare to Francis Ba-
con. but he outdoes the most enthusl-
astic Baconiars and credits 70 the fam
Gus courier The Faerie Queen" other
works Of Spencer, and works Of Na--
love, Greene and Burton. Mr.. Dax-
ter appears d nave become 50 ardent
in his desire 10 establish Francis Ba-
con as the author OF the great Shakes
pc2rean manuscripts thar he decides
all the creditable work OF the time
must have been performed by the quill!
Of his master.
The Greatest OF Literary Problems
is, as ii were, q carefully prepared
brief filed in the great court Of the
English speaking world by well ers-
ed advocate supporting the plaintiff in
the famous case Francis Bacon ".
William Shakespeare. q post mortem
suit prosecuted by the biased friends
II the principals. The evidence sub
rnitted in this brief is purely circum-
: Ldil -ltI anu AltVi-l+ Mig NChlk
rule that no new evidence has been
submitted which throws new light up
on he case, i, will be universally ad-
rnitted that the brief in itself is a most
exhaustive review and contains in its
many PAGES the essence Of a mastery
plea for the plaintiff.
The kernel Of the entire controversy
is To he found in the portions of the
book which seek 10 show the capabil-
ity Of Bacon ard the incapacity Of
Shakespeare. an argument that the
one was able to write ShakeSpeare's
works while the other was wholly I'M
able to produce the dramas everywhere
regarded as the foundation stones Of
English literature The alleged differ
ences in the measure OF the genius and
learning % the two men are illumined
by many q circumstance and careful
details. and withal so logically IS this
point argued that any court but the
great court which is TO sit upon this
case would award the decision to the
plaintiff through the very force of the
assault of the prosecuting attorney.
Houghton & Miffiin publish Mr.. Bax-
ter's volume. which sells for $500. Thus
it becomes a distinctly New England
contribution to the case for the Bacon
ians; produced by Portland (Maine)
author and a long established Boston
publishing house. II is a truly notable
contribution: in fact, it constitutes, as
already stated. a full review of the
case to date and practically for all
time, for it is hardly probable that
ar +; he 4,
settle the case by its decisive evidence.
The Greatest of Literary Problems
will always be problem; the support
ers Of Bacon and the supporters of
Shakespeare will always be at odds;
but Mr.. Bakers work should be au-
thoritative for all time.
