Excerpt from The Home of Shakspeare Street at the time of the birth of his eldest son. Tradition says that William Shakspere was born in one of these houses; tradition points out the very room in which he was born. Let us not disturb the belief. A wise conclusion! Antiquarian credulity has given place to an extreme degree of scepticism; and from believing too much, we are now too much given to believe too little; add to this the anxiety which many evince to write about Shakspere, al though little else but conjecture in its vaguest form he the result; and the value of the modern conjecture as opposed to the ancient tradition may very readily be estimated. Let Stratford ever sacred ly preserve the venerable structure with which she is entrusted; pilgrims from all climes have felt a glow of enthusiasm beneath the humble roof in Henley Street.' Let no rude pen destroy such heart homage, or seek to deprive us of the little we possess connected with our immortal countryman!
