Original Printed Wrappers. Condition: Very Good-. First Edition. 4to; vii, (2), 70 pages; Contents complete in very worn wrappers chipped along spine and edges. With three large folding diagrams. Errata slip present. Also laid-in is a broadside advertisement for "A Rare Portrait of Francis Bacon" from Butterfield. Booth compares the works of the two authors, with respect to the theory that Francis Bacon was the true author of the famous literary work, Venus and Adonis. The author examines the literary techniques, style, and language used by Colonna and Bacon in detail, and offers a compelling argument in favor of the theory that Bacon was indeed the true author of Venus and Adonis. The Author: William Stone Booth was born in Gloucester, England in 1864 and studied at the Cathedral College School in Gloucester. Ill-health prevented his entering Oxford University, so in 1885 he sailed to Australia to benefit his health and to further his father's lumber interests. Afterwards he traveled for three years in Brazil, Mexico, the West Indies and the United States, investigating the fibre industry, returning to the lumber business in London in 1890. In 1893 he came to the United States, spent a year in California, and then settled in the East. In 1894-97, he was a branch librarian of the New York public library. Thereafter Mr. Booth served as literary adviser to leading publishers, including G. P. Putnam's Sons (1897), the Macmillan Company (1898-1903), and then became a literary adviser and editor on his own account. As an author his favorite field was the literature and drama of the Elizaethan and Jacobean periods, especially the plays of Shakespeare and their authorship. On this subject he wrote Some Acrostic Signatures of Francis Bacon (1909), The Hidden Signatures of Francesco Colonna and Francis Bacon (1910); The Droeshout Portrait of William Shakespeare, an Experiment in Identification, (1911); Marginal Acrostics and Other Alphabetical Devices, a Catalogue (1920) and Subtle Shining Secrecies, Writ in the Margents of Books (1925). In these works he submitted new evidence and arguments on the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy. …
