The Law In Shakespeare Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Law in Shakespeare It is not necessary in accounting for this to as sault truth with a paradox, or to put a mask upon the face of the first of men. The law books of that time were few. Shakespeare's French is nearly as bad as the law French in which many of them were written; and it is not to be forgotten that to learn must have been easy to this man, whose mental endowments were so universal that the best intel lects of after times have vainly essayed to admeas ure them.

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Legal Acquirements Considered Pointing out Shakespeare's frequent use of law-phrases, and the strict propriety with which he always applies them, the chief justice may be likened to the cobbler, who, when shown the masterpiece Of a great painter, representing the Pope surrounded by an interesting historical group, could not be prevailed upon to notice any beauty in the painting, except the skilful structure of a slipper worn by his Holiness.

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Use of Legal Terms It is said by the Naturalist commentators on Shakespeare that he is generally accurate in his descrip tion of animals and other things as found under natural conditions. (1) Three thousand one hundred and fifty seven times throughout his works he alludes to various animals, mentioning two hundred and eighty-three different kinds. (3) The cuckoo is mentioned nineteen times, and in his description (3) of it he seems to be accurate and in direct Opposition to the current theory of his time. Accurate as he usually is, Shakespeare apparently regarded the eagle as of the highest rank, endowing him with high-soaring, keemsighted and princely qualities, whereas modern ornithologists look upon the eagle as a cruel, thieving creature. Again, Shakespeare regarded the toad as the foulest of the animals, while science looks upon it as a clean, useful animal. Unlike our notions of canine fidelity and nobleness, Shakespeare characterizes his villains with the culminating epithet of ignominious cur, the dog being mentioned, usually in a despicable sense, over three hundred times, and in all his plays except four. Shakespeare's knowledge of plant life as shown in his plays (4) is quite equal, if not superior to that of many of our celebrated horticulturists, who have sought to show from his numberless allusions to flowers and plant life that he was also learned in this branch of science.
