An amusing story is told by Mr Andrew Lang of an effort of his to get a certain remark into print without the interference of the proof-reader. He had written * The want of historical perspective which makes the moment hide the great abysm of time.’ The reader queried ‘abysm,’ and Mr Lang noted ‘Shakespeare’ on the proof as his authority. The passage] appeared ‘ makes the moment hide the great Shakespeare of time.’
