Shakespeare Described

London, Feb. 7.

The Baconian Society to-day claimed a "major mivanco" In its century-old fight to prove that Francis Bacon wrote the plays and poems attributed to William Shakespeare. Mr Roderick Eagle, insurance executive and leading Baconian, chimed he found in an ancient book confirmation of the cen-

Shakespeare's detalled will did not mention any books, and Shakes- peareans have conjectured that he disposed of them before he made out his will or had made provision for their disposal outilde of his will.

The Baconians, however, have always contended that Shakespeare did not own any books because he was an unlettered rustle who became an actor and moneylender, and has only been credited with the classics by posterity through a similarity of names with the nom-de-plume the real author, Bacon,

Eagle said that in a medical book, "Select Observations on English Bodles, published in 1037, Dr James Cooke refers to the fact that he purchased some of his prescriptions from Susannah Shakespeare Hall, eldest daughter of Shakespeare and widow of Dr John Hall.

"He asked her what relies there were of her father," Eagle continued. "Susannah replied there were none, He then inquired whether there were any books that had belonged to him bus was told: 'My father had books'."

official Eagle contends that the blography of Shakespeare by Sir Sidney Lee left this quotation out in mentioning Mrs Hall's interview with Dr Cooke because it tended to dis- credit the effort to make Stratford's Shakespeare the author of the works.

The Baconian stressed that Strat- ford's Shakespeare owned no books, yet the Shakespeare who wrote plays and sonnets often praises books and learning-United Press.
