Excerpt from The Library, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Review of Bibliography and Library Lore

Neither time nor occasion will allow of anything like a detailed account of the origins of the medieval drama, but I must remind you as briefly as I can Of the strange manner in which that drama sprang from a germ that lies, it has been said, even beyond the bounds of articulate speech, and was nourished in the bosom of that Church which had shown itself the bitterest enemy of every form of theatrical aétivity. In tracing rapidly the outline of this development I Shall do little more than summarize certain chapters in Mr. Chambers' admirable work on the Mediaeval Stage,' and I shall not scruple at times to borrow his very words.'
