Sinopsis
Excerpt from Bacon Is Not Shakespeare
Sir Edward Durning Lawrence s book Bacon ls Shake peare. I appeared 111 1910 and as far as I remember was not taken very seriously by the reviewers. But having recently come across it, and finding that the author boasts of having sent a copy of his misleading work to every public library in the world, I realise that something must be done. Many will read it in these institutions who know nothing of the arguments which refute it and their judgment may be warped for life. Failing stronger pens than mine, I hope this little work will do something to mitigate the mischief.
Since the publication of the book, Sir Edwin has sent to school teachers and others a copy of a pamphlet The Shakespeare Myth. As this often gives only the conclusions and not the fallacious reasons upon which those conclusions are based, its effects may be serious. In a note accompanying it, he says Now that it has been proved that William Shakespeare was unable to write so much as his own name.

Excerpt from Bacon Is Not Shakespeare
The theory that Bacon wrote the plays commonly attributed to Shakespeare began, not during the lifetime of those who would have detected an imposture, his contemporaries, but in 1848, and one of the originators died in a madhouse. The idea made but little progress and, amongst literary men, practically none.
Personally, I have never troubled to read the arguments; for ciphers do not appeal to me. I have heard of a Shakespearean cipher which proved that the plays were written by Bernard Shaw, and of another which fathered them upon Rudyard Kipling!

Since the publication of the book. Sir Edwin has sent to school teachers and others a copy of a pamphlet The Shakespeare Myth. As this often gives only the conclusions and not the fallacious reasons upon which those conclusions are based, its effects may be serious. In a note accompanying it, he says Now that it has been proved that William Shakespeare was unable to write so much as his own name, people should no longer profess to believe that the Immortal Plays were written by the illiterate householder of Stratford, neither of whose daughters could read or write, and in whose house not a single book was found. Some of the criticism in the text is directed against statements made in the pamphlet, for Sir Edwin honoured me with a copy and I hope I have made good use of it.
My data are taken from many sources; hut chiefly from Sir Sidney's Lee's "Life of Shakespeare."
