Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bacon Vs Shakspere: Brief for Plaintiff Another illustrious example is Goethe, scarcely inferior to Bacon, whatever the claims made for the latter, in the brilliancy and scope of his powers. As a poet, Goethe was a star of the first magnitude, a blaze of light in the literary heavens. His 'faust' is one Of the six great poems Of the world. As a writer of prose fiction he stands in the front rank, his Wilhelm Meister' being a classic, side by side with 'the Heart of Mid Lothian, ' 'middlemarch, ' and 'the Scarlet Letter.' By a singular coincidence, also, as compared with Bacon, he was one of the master spirits of his age in the sphere of the sciences. An evolutionist before Darwin, he beheld, as in a vision, the application of law to all the phenomena of nature and life. In botany, he made notable addi tions to the then existing stock of knowledge; and throughout the vast realm of biology he not only developed new methods of inquiry, but spread over it the glow of imagination, without which the path of discovery is always doubly difficult to tread. In the light of precedents, therefore, the claim made to the authorship of the plays in behalf of Bacon cannot be discredited.
