Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story, Vol. 5 The publication of Book IV, including the "Tragedy of Mary Queen of Scots," in the form of a play, has greatly increased the widespread interest in the Cipher Story. Very shortly after its issue, we received letters from England, and many parts of the United States, noting the added pleasure in reading the book from the addition of the names of the characters and urging, for the sake of clearness, that in future publications, they be inserted in the dialogues. The introduction of so great a number of characters, and the difficulty of identifying them, by those not thoroughly familiar with the history of the period to which the Cipher relates, was not foreseen, and the now apparent inadequacy of the quotation marks, heretofore used and referred to in these letters, has induced us to change the style, and repeat the historic names of the speakers as they appear. In the discourse between Bacon and the decipherer, however, changes of type and quotation marks will be used as heretofore. Thus will be combined narrative and dialogue as in Francis Bacon's work "An Advertisement Touching an Holy War." Students have recognized histories, in the Shakespeare Plays, other than those indicated by historic titles, but have found irreconcilable inconsistencies in apparently fictitious and misplaced names given to actors in the events recorded. These names, in the 1623 Folio, are usually printed in italics, and are but maskings. When transposed by the translation of the Cipher to their proper places, the hidden histories are found to be authentic.
