name of the actor, William Shakespeare. of
Stratford-on-Avon, cannot by any manner
of means have been composed by this per

keep his identity a secret.
"3. An extraordinary combination of con-

facts justifies in thinking that the dramas
and the other poetical compositions at
tributed to William Shakespeare are, in

Note these solccsms
The homage to Queen Elizabeth in the
"Midsummer Nights Dream" would have
been an objectionable impertincnce from
Shakespeare Of Stratford; and yet, at the
time it was uttered, nobody doubted that
it came from this same Shakespeare of
Stratford.
Shakespeare of Stratford could not have
defended magic with impunity in "The
Tempest" and yet, at The time "Thc Tenn

that Shakespeare Of Stratford was its au-

The aspcrsions on Denmark in "lIamet"
would not have been permitted for a moment
to Shakespeare of Stratford; and yet, at the
time "Hamct' was produced nobody doubted
it was Shakespeare of Stratford who made
them.
Note likewise these examples of an un-
sophistication which verges dangerously
near the very naivete M. Lefranc delights
to ridicule in the Stratfordians:
Because Shakespeare of Stratford appro-
priated according to the diary of the law
yer Mannngham) amorous favors which
were intended for his fellow actor Bur
bagc, Shakespeare of Stratford cannot have
created the ideal loves of the Shakespearian
dramas.
Shakespeare of Stratford, having made A
mediocre marriage, cannot have portrayed
the gallant wooings and the brilliant nup-
tials Of the Shakespearian plays.
Shakespeare of Stratford, having sued
his debtors, cannot have been the author
of the immortal passage in the "Merchant
of Venice beginning THE quality of mercy
is not strained"

why Stanley, who survived Shakespeare Of
Stratford twentysix years, produced moth
ing after the death of Shakespeare, and
nothing after Shakespeares retirement to
New Place. IL is strange that the man who
in 1899 was so bound up in his playwritinp
as to put 1t above the possibility Of kingly
succession should not have profited by the
tranquility of his later years to crafty
this playwritng passion.

depreciation which accords with the fact
that Stanley was patron and friend of the
famous astronomer and magician. John Dee,
and himself familiar, in all likelihood with
the mysteries of occultism.
NJ. Lefranc takes the Stratfordians Sc
