THE GOLDEN BOTTLE.
: Some of our. readers will remenw ' bor lliu mild sensation caused a few yeius ago by Mtv Ignatius Donnelly, ■ ■ j 1 a Yunkce writer, who attempted to prove in a work entitled " The Great Cryptogram," that Bacon was. the author of the plays attributed to " Shakespeare. Tbe hypothesis was r.ceived with enthusiasm by. a few daft people ever ready. to adopt the passing craze of. tlip 'day, while Shakespearian scholars and experts, after a careful examination which the wort scarcely warranted; scornfully dismissed the hypothesis of the "Pro- ~;A fessor." The ut Golden Bottle "ia • more foolish j but even from its absurdity, more either The Great "Caesar's Column." WecahnßPV recommend it to any of our country ; ' readers,., who, harrowed'with morfc- • gages or depressed by low prices, wish for an hoar's where they may' be intjjfeS to pa millionaire who- has dii'covwed the philosopher's stone, and wishing to do good with his money, makes advances at the ratu of 2 per cent, to farmers overweighted with ruinous interest. : Written .in the same strain as Bellamy's "Looking Backward,"- the ; writer sketoheswiih delightful orudity: ■ " a scheme for the regeneration of mankind. It would be, unfair to our : readew to give the plot of the story, but a headings will show them- •*. the latitudes of romance into which ' they will be takenMilliouaira— Theßrotherhood of Justice—Demonetization of Gold—Elected President./ -Plutocraoy Paralysed—European War—Beconstruoted Great Britain Armageddon.—The Millenium. "If there is-anything in this book which is sensible and reasonable, it will, I trust, be credited to the new political movement; whatever ia can be laid at my door," plaintively writes the author in his pMice., We had only reply that very little can be credited to the new political movement, The book oan bo obtained from Mr HolmesiMasterton.
