Miss Montgomery suggests, assimilated more Latin than Ben Jonson's famous phrase allowed him. “Bacon’s Latin wo find throughout his work in undigested chunks. Shakespeare’s Latin is the gold and silver tissue that makes the woof and web oC his works resplendent." This is acutely and charmingly illustrated; and in the process a new nail is driven in the coffin of the stupid Bacon-wrote-Shukespcart* theory.
