General note: Book-plate of Dr. Ernest Lewis McEwen. Includes article by W. H. Wyman from The Times of Piladelphia, December 26, 1886, inserted into the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's copy of Delia Bacon's The philosophy of the plays of Shakspere unfolded, Hart, "an old New York schoolmaster with a fondness for yachting and schoolmaster's eagerness for literary reputation," had heard her lecture and "was the first to enunciate a distorted version of Delia Bacon's theory," writing with "the diction of a schoolmaster and the brutality of a sailor." This appears to establish Delia Bacon as the originator of the heresy.
