SHAKESPEARE DISCOVERY: OLD VOLUMES
MARGINAL NOTES IN.
AN OLD HISTORY
The chance discovery of a set of three volumes, comprising the second edition of Holinshed's "Chonicles," is causing consider- ablo interest and speculation in British, Continental, and Ameri- can literary circles.
One of the volumes is believed by experts to bear notes and jot

of handwriting Shakespeare, and to be the actual copy he used as the source of many of his historical plays.
Handwriting experts in London, Paris and Genova are unanimous on the matter. They declare that the marginal notes, sundry

various epigram jotted down in parts of the book are in the same hand as the signatures, to Shakes- peare's will, the deeds of his Blackfriars property, the Montjoy law case, the Ovid's "Metamor- phoses" at the Bodleian Library and the Florio's "Montaigne" at the British Museum.
The Holinsbed is the property of Capt. William Jaggard, the Stratford- on-Avon bibliographer and scholar.; He acquired the set 11 years ago from the executors of the late A. H, Bul- len, the well-known scholar
and founder of the Shakespeare Head! Press.

On another margin was the motto, or "Four Virtues of the Holy Ghost," In the same hand-Prudence, Justyce, Forty-tude and Temperance."' Epigram And Prescription Beneath this motto was the charac- teristic Shakespearean epigram:
"As wealth: maketh lofty
Soe want maketh lowly." On various pages of the book are about 100 written words, including the following veterinary recipe.
"Blacke-soape pigge menic and honny, mingled together, good for n horses legge swollen."
There seems no doubt that the Hollnshed forms one more valuable addition to the rpengre personal relies of Shakespeare: The book itself was formerly in the possession of a War- wickshire family.
