'The tusk of testing tho great bard ' s religious sentiments in a manner mast legitimate , has bi-eti ably accomplished by Mr . Birch . Tho book throws much additional light on the real structure of Shakspcare ' s mind . " — Weekly Dispatch . "Mr . Birch ' s attempt is to remove the veil that wraps the poet , curious to see whether or not his countenance shineth as that of angel . ' This unveiling Mr .

Birch ' s book is nn elaborate and systematic exposition of the natural history of Shaktmcro's opinions—eloquent with facts , minute in annlysis , faithful in detail , and impartial in execution . It is nn anodyne to the parched spirit to turn to the fresh pages of Mr . Birch—redolent of a manly and dignified criticism , which keeps close to truth and disdains to pander to omnipotent opinion .
