155 - L. Apr. 20; ed: 2/1 - On Apr. 23, 1564, in the town of Stratford-
Upon-Avon, Shakespeare, the greatest poet was born. Three days hence
will be the 300th anniversary of his birth. England will make this
anniversary a national and literary festival.
"There should be some distinctive and peculiar celebration on the day
itself. It is late, but not yet too late, and we trust that the Library
association may take the matter immediately in hand." (16)
