Author Description

Excerpt from An Imaginary Conversation Between William Shakespeare and His Friend, Henry Wriothesly, Earl of Southampton These conversations were published several months ago in a weekly periodical in Boston, but were so surrounded by fine stories, thrilling tales, &c., that I have thought it proper to have them printed in this form, as the commencement of a series of similar papers. It does, perhaps, hardly become the writer of so small a tract as this, to Say anything about himself; nevertheless, as it Is my desire to make a fair start in this undertaking, I will state this much, for the satis faction of those who wish to know who it is that claims their attention, that for a little more than two years I was a member of the very respectable Uni versity in this place, but that, about a year since, I withdrew from the department of it, with which I was connected, partly on account of ill-health, partly for lack of means, but especially, from a desire to exercise myself in a more congenial sphere.
