Excerpt from Hermes Stella: Or Notes and Jottings Upon the Bacon Cipher
This volume was never intended to be more than an appeal for the re-examination of Mr. Donnelly"s claim to the discovery of a secret cipher in the plays known as Shakespeare"s, and in its present form it can only be regarded as a collection of rough notes and jottings on this subject, hurried into print by circumstances connected with the theft of a portion of my manuscript. The indulgence of the few students who may consult these pages is therefore entreated for the errors of style and punctuation, and for the faulty arrangement of material which involves so much repetition. I am not without hope, however, that the labour of scanning the following pages will be repaid by the acquisition of many facts bearing on the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy, which it has cost me years of toilsome research to accumulate.
