Excerpt from Mr. Donnelly's Reviewers During the progress of these pages through the press, the author, William D. O'Connor, Assistant General Superintendent of the Life-Saving Service, passed suddenly away from the conflicts and controversies of life. He had suffered for a long time from partial paralysis. He was regarded as a confirmed sufferer, and the announcement of his death at Washington on the morning of May 9, 1887, came as a sad surprise to a wide circle of admiring friends. Mr. O'Connor was an enthusiast in the work in which he was engaged. He was very proud of his department of the Government service, and often spoke hopefully of a time when shipwrecks on the American coast would be almost impossible. There can be no doubt that if Mr. O'Connor had devoted himself wholly to literature he would have made more than a common mark. As it is, he has left behind him more than one powerful contribution to the current controversy on the Baconian authorship of the "Shakspearean plays."
