"The Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship holds that Sir Francis Bacon, philosopher, essayist, and scientist, wrote the plays which were publicly attributed to William Shakespeare. Various explanations are offered for this alleged subterfuge, most commonly that Bacon's rise to high office might have been hindered were it to become known that he wrote plays for the public stage. Thus the plays were credited to Shakespeare, who was merely a front to shield the identity of Bacon. The theory was first put forth in the mid-19th century based on correspondences between the philosophical ideas found in Bacon's writings and the works of Shakespeare. Later, proponents claimed to have found legal and autobiographical allusions and cryptographic ciphers and codes in the plays and poems to buttress the theory. In 1867, in the library of Northumberland House, John Bruce happened upon a bundle of bound documents, some of whose sheets had been ripped away. It had comprised numerous of Bacon's oratories and disquisitions, had also apparently held copies of the plays Richard II and Richard III, The Isle of Dogs and Leicester's Commonwealth, but these had been removed. On the outer sheet was scrawled repeatedly the names of Bacon and Shakespeare along with the name of Thomas Nashe. There were several quotations from Shakespeare and a reference to the word 'Honorificabilutudinitatibus', which appears in both Love's Labour's Lost and Nashe's Lenten Stuff. The Earl of Northumberland sent the bundle to James Spedding, who subsequently penned a thesis on the subject, who subsequently penned a thesis on the subject. Bacon's reason for publishing under a pseudonym was said to be his need to secure his high office. to set up new institutes to which his inductive method could be applied. He needed high office to gain the requisite influence, and being known as a dramatist, allegedly low-class profession, would have impeded his prospects. Realizing that play-acting was used by the ancients "as a means of educating men's minds to virtue", and being "strongly addicted to the theatre" himself, he is claimed to have set out the otherwise unpublished moral philosophical component of his Great Instauration project in the Shakespearean work. In this way, he could influence the nobility through dramatic performance with his observations on what constitutes "good" government. By the end of the 19th century, Baconian theory had received support from a number of high-profile individuals. Mark Twain showed an inclination for it in his essay Is Shakespeare Dead? Fredrich Nietzsche gave credence to the Baconian theory in his writings. Baconian theory developed a new twist in the writings of Orville Ward Owen, M.D. and Elizabeth Wells Gallup. SIR FRANCIS BACON's CIPHER STORY (1893-95) claimed to have discovered a secret history of the Elizabethan era hidden in cipher form in Bacon/Shakespeare's works. Elizabeth Wells Gallup developed Owen's views. A 1916 lawsuit decision holding that ciphers id's by Gallup proved Bacon was author of the Shakespeare canon, awarding $5,000 in damages. - Wikipedia.…

Oblong 8vo. 1 line. On a picture postcard showing the interior of Fradin's "Musée de Glozel" (department Allier). - On 1 March 1924 the farmer Émile Fradin and his grandfather Claude discovered an underground chamber while ploughing one of their fields. In several excavations on the site between 1924 and 1930 Fradin and others discovered more than 3000 artefacts, mostly clay tablets, sculptures and vases. With the help of local amateur archaeologists Fradin claimed the findings to be of Neolithic origin. Once the unusual discovery reached national attention and professional archaeologists got involved, controversies arose. A commission of specialists that was appointed to investigate the site in 1927 declared everything from Glozel with the exception of a few pieces to be forgeries. Fradin was confronted with allegations of fraud but an initial indictment was repealed in 1931 and he successfully sued René Dussaud, a curator at the Louvre and famous epigrapher, for defamation in 1932. Despite several scientific attempts at dating and interpreting the discovery, no conclusive explanation has been put forward until today. A majority of artifacts is now believed to be of medieval origin and some objects have been identified as forgeries, but there are also objects dating to the Gallo-Roman and Celtic period. The most remarkable and enigmatic artefacts from Glozel are some 100 tablets bearing inscriptions. The symbols are reminiscent of the Phoenician alphabet but they have not been conclusively deciphered. - Well preserved.…
