Excerpt from Studies in Shakespeare Though a preface is generally superfluous, it is needed in the present volume, as the object of the essays here collected, as well as their relation to preceding contributions to the study of Shakespeare by other writers, may easily be misunderstood. The first essay, that on Shakespeare as a Classical Scholar, can only claim originality in a limited sense. Mr. Russell Lowell, though when I wrote my essay I was not aware of the fact, had long ago suggested that Shakespeare may have had access to the Greek dramas through the medium of Latin translations, and several critics, among others Dr. Maginn and Mr. Spencer Baynes, had contended that he was probably a fair Latin scholar. But Russell Lowell contented himself with little more than suggestion, and neither Dr. Maginn nor Spencer Baynes contributed very much towards establishing their hypothesis.
