Excerpt from System of Shakespeare's Dramas, Vol. 1 of 2

Nor is there to be found here any indulgence in that favorite pastime Of erudite leisure which may be called the sport of probabilities. Upon a very small fragment of an historical fact there is reared a colossal air-palace Of conjecture - perhaps a harmless, but certainly a very insubstantial, edifice. What difference does it make, in the judgment of Shakespeare's work, whether he was a Catholic or Protestant; whether, indeed, he was called Shakespeare, or by some other name? His book remains the same, and must be judged as it is; any argument to the contrary implies that our view of Shakespeare is to be determined by our view Of something else, or of some body else.
