I lie Society is claiming that when Spenser was buried, fellow poets placed signed elegies in his grave, and the Society hopes to find one, signed “Shakespeare,’' in Bacon’s handwriting. The Dean of Westminister is willing to allow the grave to he re-open-ed provided that sufficient litterateurs will recommend such an opening on the ground of historical interest.
