220 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES OF AUTHORS. "The Escape of Mary Queen of Scots" from "The Abbot." Shakespeare, William (1564-1616). -Though Shakespeare's name is 66 ment at Stratford, where he died. Few writers have So sounded the depths of the human heart as Shakespeare. His plays not only reflect the many problems which were stirring in men's minds in his own day; they are a storehouse of truths and lessons which are the same for all ages, showing always the ultimate triumph of good over evil in its many forms. Apart from his genius as a dramatist, he is a teacher-the greatest (among writers at least) that the world has ever seen. Shelley, Percy Bysshe (1792 1822). A poet, whose works are distinguished by high imaginative power and melodious expression. Among the best known of his longer poems are "Prometheus Unbound," "The Cenci," "Adonais," and "The Revolt of Islam." He is also the author of some of the most exquisite lyric poems in our language, and of "Essays and" Letters." His career was brought to an early and tragic end; he was drowned off the coast of Italy, as it was long supposed, by accident, but a fisherman on his death-bed confessed to having intentionally upset the boat in order to rob Shelley, whom he supposed to be Lord Byron. Trench, Richard Chenevix.-Born 1807. Distinguished as a poet, theologian, and scholar. Is still living (1885), and has recently resigned the archbishopric of Dublin, which he held since 1864.
