Lecture on Shakespere's London Tonight.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Tonight and next Friday night at 8 o'clock in the Lecture Room of the Fogg Museum, Professor Baker will give two lectures on "Shakepere's London," illustrating them with the stereopticon. The special subject tonight will be "The City and Westminster." In the course of his lectures, Professor Baker will make a circuit through the city. Beginning at London Tower, he will follow up the river, by Whitehall and Charing Cross, up the Strand to Ludgate Hill and St. Paul's; down Cheapside and through the city, back to the Tower. The one hundred pictures which he will slow in the two lectures are taken, in the main, from old engravings and wood cuts. Many of these pictures have been collected in the Harvard Library, but a considerable number have been imported by Professor Baker himself. It is the purpose of the lecturer to give an idea of London as it was in the year 1600. Professor Baker will read from some of Shakespere's plays in passages of which the scenes are laid in London.
