2 6 OPINIONS, PRO AND CON. Samuel F. Barr. " The Bacon-Shakspeie controversy has reached a crisis. The Baconians produce a chain of circumstantial evidence for their contention sufficient to carry the judgment of any intelligent juror, even in a capital case ; and all the evidence attainable inust be circumstantial. The Shakspereans deny these proofs presented, and answer argument with vitupera- tion. They nickname a controversy that began during Shakspere's active life in London, when the Play...s were com- ing out on the stage, ' new, ' ' whimsical, ' and ' nonsense. * They offer no proof that the unlearned actor wrote these masterpieces of scholarly genius ; while you have demon- strated the impossibility of an uneducated yokel having written them. And yet the myth-worshippers shout Hallelu- jahs to their idol and cling to their credulity. In this they are not alone. " But all myths must yield in time, if combated: Slavery as a divine institution, polygamy, witchcraft, for ages held men in bondage, relying on immemorial prescription, general custom, and the sacred law.
