The afternoon lectures on English literature, delivered in the theatre of the Museum of Industry, SStephen's Green, Dublin, in May and June 1863 . SHAKESPEARE,BY JOHN K. INGRAM, FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, AND PROFESSOR OF ENGLISHLITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. r HE author of the thoughtful difcourfe onthe life and writings of John Fofler beginsby obferving that fome perfons would pro-bably conlider him to have feleded hisfubje6l injudicioufly, becaufe the name of John Pollerwas not one of general notoriety, nor his rank in Eng-lifli literature a very high one. I can well believe thatmy own choice may have been criticifed for exadly theoppofite reafon. There are doubtlefs few, if any, inthe audience I addrefs, who are not well acquaintedwith the principal works of Shakefpeare, who have notadmired their poetic beauties, felt their power andpathos, and reflefted on their moral fignificance. Andfo much has he been the theme of our whole criticalliterature—fo many gifted writers have taken him forthe text of their aeilhetic difquifitions—that juil fy Hema-tic views of his genius and dramatic art have becomemore or lefs familiar to all educated minds. Is it likelythat I fhall be able to prefent in any new light thegreat fubjeft I have feledcd ?
