Excerpt from Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare, Vol. 1 Stage. This biographical indifference continued for many years, and long before the season arrived for a real curiosity to be taken m the subject, the records from which alone a satisfactory memoir could have been constructed had disappeared. At the time of Shake speare's decease, non-political correspondence was rarely preserved, elaborate diaries were not the fashion, and no one, excepting in semi-apocryphal collections of jests, thought it worth while to record many of the sayings and doings, or to delineate at any length the characters, of actors and dramatists, so that it is generally by the merest accident that particulars of interest respecting them have been recovered.
