what others have written, and liter
ary vandalism and iconoclasm char-
acterize the writings of a great num-
of the<»e email minded critics of the
present, who depend entirely for no
toriety on assailing some cherished
work of acknowledged merit that
has been widely read. Of this class
of so called authors and literary
critics we have in our own country
an example in Ignatius Donielly,
who bin* boosted himself into noto-
riety by taking up the old chestnut
as to whether* or not. Shakespeare
was really the author of the works
commonly attributed to him, and at-
tempting by.a- ridiculous cypher to
prove that he was not. Oh the otbdr'
