SHAKESPEARE AND TEE PSALMS.
: • Mr A. T. Quiller-Conien, in a 'book review, threw out, as a retiudtiio ad! afosuxdum, Vh& suggestion that the authorised; version is by the same author as the plays of Shakespeare. "As to parts of that version," •writes a conr.espond>ent to the " Daily Chronicle," " tlhe aibsurdaty is toy mo means ob : vious. There is a cryptogram ia the 46t(h Psalm ■wrhich goes a long way to prove the theory. You observe that the key numlber is 46, and that the sum of 4 and! 6 is 10. Tlhe modi to be sought .then is one of 10 letters. NW, count from the begimtong of the Psalm ; the i orty-sixt-h, word! is " shake " ; count from <tJi« emd j <tlhe fortysuctlh word is "epear," "Shakespear." It is not suiiprising, then, that Sihakespeare and the Bible have so constao% been- classed together as the standard of p^urest and strongest English."
