Judge Allen of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts has shown that the legal allusions employed by Shakespeare are equally common in contemporary dramatists and that Shakespeare instead of being uniformly accurate in these matters, as some have assumed, is often guilty of mistakes which a lawyer or a student of law would never make. This may be regarded as the final word on the question of the supposed legal attainments of Shakespeare.— New Internal. Cyc.

It is a delicious fantasy, and Mark Twain himself could could not have given it a droller realism. Mr. Howells mingles fact with fancy. Not all their remarks are intended merely to amuse the reader; there is a definite purpose back of Mr. Howells' excellent fooling. He succeeds not in destroying the Baconian heresy, but in making it appear, more than ever, an absurd and negligible thing, and he succeeds a higher achievement-in accomplishing what a certain brilliant English journalist has long and vainly attempted; he makes the mysterious dramaturge step from the obscuring clouds of time and show himself in the likeness of mankind.-Joyce Kilmer.

Shelley, H. C. Shakespeare and Stratford. [1913.]

Mr. Shelley rarely refers to the authors from whom he borrows, never gives any references, and provides no index; so his book can hardly be treated as a work for a scholar. Yet as showing the varied interests which centre in the little town, and the points over which discussion is waged concerning the poet's surroundings, it can be commended as a pleasant companion for Stratford visitors, and a pretty remembrance of their visit.-Ath.
