Durning-Lawrence | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The mighty author of the immortal plays was gifted with the most brilliant genius ever conferred upon man. He possessed an intimate and accurate acquaintance, which could not have been artificially acquired, with all the intraiccies and mysteries of court life. He had by study obtained nearly all the learning that could be gained from books. And he had by travel and experience acquired a knowledge of cities and of men that has never been surpassed. Who was in existence at that period who could by any possibility be supposed to be this universal genius? A man known to us under the name of Francis Bacon. Partial Contents: Monument, Bust and Portrait; Shakespeare's Correspondence; Bacon acknowledged to be a Poet; Author revealed in the Sonnets; and more.
