Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Young Man From Stratford: A Juryman's View of the Bacon-Shakespeare Controversy
This poison works by argument, and the safest precaution against infection is to know exactly what argument really is. To change the simile, argument may be called a Court of Law wherein the witnesses are Facts, the lawyers are Inference, Deduction and Analogy, the judge is Analysis, and the jury Man kind. In this little book that I have ventured to write I hope to have shown that for Shakespeare there are a few lawyers and a few witnesses, while for Bacon there are many lawyers and no witnesses.
Inference, k.c., can work up many damaging looking things arising out of various simple, and to average minds, ordinary and easily understandable circumstances, but he is not allowed to give his opinion on the facts that the Circe of the West who first brewed this lep'rous distilment bore the significant name of Delia Bacon. We need not speak of her sad end.
