Is Shakespeare Dead?

Mark Twain has deserted the camp of the Shakespearites, and if he has not exactly committed himself to the cause of the Baconians, he comes very close to it. "Is Shakespeare Dead?" The book is a fragment of Mr. Clemens's long-promised autobiography, and is full of the humor which has never failed him. - rather a large allowance for this small volume - give an effect of padding, but even in such meagre quantity the quality of Mark Twain's writing is always assured of a wide welcome.
