ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an account of the author's visit to Shakspere’s birth-place. The author describes his encounter with a gentlewoman who talked with somewhat formidable knowledge and appreciative intelligence about Shakspere. He presents an account of his visit to the burial-place of Shakspere. Miss Bacon believed that the material evidences of her dogma as to the authorship, together with the key of the new philosophy, would be found buried in Shakspere’s grave. In Lord Bacon’s letters, Miss Bacon had discovered the key and clue to the whole mystery. There were definite and minute instructions how to find a will and other documents relating to the conclave of Elizabethan philosophers, which were concealed in a hollow space in the under surface of Shakspere’s grave-stone. The author also describes Bacon's intelligence based on a letter from the Mayor of Stratford-on-Avon.
