The world does not like to have its established beliefs questioned ; but so much has already been said and written on the " Bacon theory," and so many attempts have been made to unseat Shake- speare entirely, that I hope more good than harm may be done if we can ascertain the exact relations which existed between Shakespeare and Bacon. The only question which is necessary to be decided in order to effect this purpose is, I think, whether or not my distinction between the " non- legal" and "legal plays" is well founded? For if Shakespeare personally had not the education of a lawyer, then I think it must be admitted he must have received assistance in some of his plays from one who had. There are a number of IV PREFACE. side issues which have been raised in the course of the inquiry, but this is really the only one we have to decide. In these days of critical research, when from hour to hour our fund of information is being continually added to, it may be shown that I have made mistakes in collateral matters. I have discovered some such mistakes myself, which have been altered; others, no doubt, may still be found out. I howeyer hope that, though the position I have taken up may not be accepted by all, I have at least given some novel and interesting facts concerning our great poet. E. J. C.

It is perhaps necessary to offer some explanation for giving this Study to the world. For though what is called the Shakespeare-Bacon question has attracted a considerable amount of attention since it was first raised by Mrs. Delia Bacon in January, 1856, yet the general opinion, seems to be that there is either nothing in the suggestion, or there is. not sufficient data to settle the matter one way or the other. But from Shakespeare, as out of Africa, there is always something new, and as I think I have arrived at evidence which, if true, gives a solution of the problem, I have ventured to bring what I have discovered before that jury which must ultimately decide all questions—namely, educated public opinion. I was led to take some trouble about the matter through coming across Halli- well's Life of Shakespeare, which embraces, it is believed, all the documentary evidence known to exist relating to Shakespeare's career. I thought C. B 2 INTRODUCTION. I would Study it and see whether th^re was any light to be discovered. It was the middle of a rather dull Long Vacation, when " Tibe stands still with the Lawyer," and Jthe /intellectual exercise was some substitute for the out- door amusements which the weather did not always permit. The work grew more and more interest- ing, and was at intervals followed up. I had by no means a theory to support ; was not even an advocate, but one desirous of ascertaining the facts, and I think this is shown by my various changes of opinion as I got more and more into the subject. Originally I, no doubt, leaned to the Bacon theory ; it is, as I believe Burke says, more pleasing to exercise our ingenuity in proving that which is not accepted than to merely support what is. But, after some consideration, I came to the conclusion that Shakespeare was the sole author of the two Poems Venus and Adonis and Lucrece, the Sonnets and the Plays, and that there was no evidence that Bacon had anything to do with them, nor any necessity for imagining that he had. This view was arrived at by a very simple process of reasoning: the great peculiarity, as so many lawyers—Malone, Lord Campbell, and others—have noticed, is the extraordinary know- ledge of law to be found in Shakespeare's works. INTRODUCTION. 3 This "law" is to be found equally in the two Poems as it is in the Sonnets or Plays, and as by common consent it has been admitted, even by the Baconians, that these Poems were Shakespeare's ; therefore it seemed clear if Shakespeare could find the law for the Poems, why not for his other works? There were, no doubt, many ways by which ' he might have acquired a knowledge of law ; he might have shared the rooms with a Templar, and while the 'one studied the other might have written and insensibly have worked in some of his friend's knowledge; but however acquired, if Shakespeare was the sole and undoubted author of the Poerns, then I could find no reason why he should not be thd author of the Plays.

  • Conference About Succession
    A CONFERENCE ABOUT THE NEXT SUCCESSION 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is a modern-spelling edition of A Conference about the Next Succession to the Crown of England. The frame story of A Conference is a fictitious conference in Amsterdam in the spring of 1593, fully described in the Preface to Part I. In that fictitious frame story, the principal speakers are two lawyers, the one an expert in the civil law of England, the other an expert in the common law. This frame story in itself makes it clear that the author himself had a legal background. The civil lawyer puts forward his arguments in Part I (or rather, the author of A Conference puts forward his arguments through the mouth of the fictitious civil lawyer). In Part II, it is the turn of the fictitious expert in the common law. The title page promises that ‘a new & perfect arbour or genealogy of the descents of all the Kings and Princes of England from the Conquest unto this day’ can be found at the end of the tract whereby the claims of all the current pretenders to the English crown will be made plain. This ‘arbour’ or genealogy may have been based on the work of Francis Peto (see below, and TNA SP 70/137, ff. 319-21). Unfortunately this promise is not fulfilled. The ‘arbour or genealogy’ does not appear, suggesting that the author of A Conference did not play a role in the book’s publication. A Conference is a well organized and well thought out presentation.

  • Life Under the Jolly Roger: Reflections on Golden Age Piracy
    praise for life under the jolly roger In the golden age of piracy thousands plied the seas in egalitarian and com- munal alternatives to the piratical age of gold. The last gasps of the hundreds who were hanged and the blood-curdling cries of the thousands traded as slaves inflated the speculative financial bubbles of empire putting an end to these Robin Hood’s of the deep seas. In addition to history Gabriel Kuhn’s radical piratology brings philosophy, ethnography, and cultural studies to the stark question of the time: which were the criminals—bankers and brokers or sailors and slaves? By so doing he supplies us with another case where the history isn’t dead, it’s not even past! Onwards to health-care by eye-patch, peg-leg, and hook! Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra This vital book provides a crucial and hardheaded look at the history and mythology of pirates, neither the demonization of pirates as bloodthirsty thieves, nor their romanticization as radical communitarians, but rather a radical revisioning of who they were, and most importantly, what their stories mean for radical movements today. Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame Stripping the veneers of reactionary denigration and revolutionary romanti- cism alike from the realities of “golden age” piracy, Gabriel Kuhn reveals the sociopolitical potentials bound up in the pirates’ legacy better than anyone who has dealt with the topic to date. Life Under the Jolly Roger is important reading for anyone already fascinated by the phenomena of pirates and piracy.

  • Economy of Transport in Mughal India
    ECONOMY OF TRANSPORT IN MUGHAL INDIA ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of ^t)tla£foplip ><HISTORY S^r-A^. fi NAZER AZIZ ANJUM % 'i A ^'^ -'mtm''- kWgj i. '* y '' «* Under the Supervision of PROFESSOR SHIREEN MOOSVI CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY 4LIGARH (INDIA) 2010 ABSTRACT ]n Mughal India land revenue (which was about 50% of total produce) was mainly realised in cash and this resulted in giving rise to induced trade in agricultural produce. The urban population of Mughal India was over 15% of the total population - much higher than the urban population in 1881(i.e.9.3%). The Mughal ruling class were largely town-based. At the same time foreign trade was on its rise. Certain towns were emerging as a centre of specialised manufactures. These centres needed raw materials from far and near places. For example, Ahmadabad in Gujarat a well known centre for manufacturing brocade, received silk Irom Bengal. Saltpeter was brought from Patna and indigo from Biana and adjoining regions and textiles from Agra, Lucknow, Banaras, Gazipur to the Gujarat ports for export. This meant development of long distance trade as well. The brisk trade depended on the conditions and techniques of transport. A study of the economy of transport in Mughal India is therefore an important aspect of Mughal economy. Some work in the field has already been done on different aspects of system of transport in Mughal India. This thesis attempts a single study bringing all the various aspects of economy of transport together.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.
