Mr. Lee on Shakespeare.

Mr. Sidney Lee, Litt.D., lectured in Sanders Theatre last evening upon the subject. "Foreign Influences on Shakespeare." Abundant evidence exists. I said, which points to direct foreign in menaces upon Shakespeare, but we must attribute the skill with which he handle his foreign dramas rather to the gener diffusion of thought during the Renais since and to his own preeminent genin than to the influence of any particular foreign writers. To all his erections intensively gives universal emotions an at the same time, never losing sight his setting, he infuses, in his character the essential racial idiosyncrasies manned by the environment.
