Book Description
Excerpt from An Essay on the Genius of Shakespeare, &C IN submitting the following Essay to the reader, I shall be permitted to mention to him, that I have purposely avoided reading any critique, paper, essay, or remarks on either the genius or the cha racters of our celebrated Bard. I mention this, more for the professed critic than for the general reader, for the purpose of saying that pla giarism (than which I know nothing more nu pardonable) is to be discovered in the work, I trust it will attributed to accident, and not wilfulness.
