Endiuiiasts are easily duped, and of all enthusiasts, exceptmg die velifiouSy those who give them- selves up to the worship of some great poet or artist are the easiest prey of the impostor. To them^ a boolc, a letter, the least scrap or relic which is connected directly, or it would seem indirectly, with their idol, is an inestimable treasure, and they are uneasy until it is in their possession, or removed hopelessly heyond their reach. Of all these enthusiasts the *^ Shakspearians *' are, and lor a hundred years have been, ar once the most numerous, and the most easily, because the most willingly, deceived. To their craving and their greed we owe the " Ireland Foi^eries," which were merely an impudent attempt to supply a demand — an attempt made by a clever, ig^norant young scamp, who succeeded in deluding the whole lx>dy of them in England two generations ago. His " Confessions " are the simply told story of this stupendous imposture : and the book — long out of print and scarce — is one the most nat/ and amusing of its kmd in the whole history of literature. His exhibition of the "gulls^ whom he made his victims is equally delightful and instructive: and chiefly so, because of his simplicity and frankness. He conceals nothing, palliates nothing: tells the whole story of his ridicubus iniquity, and leaves a lasting lesson to the whole tribe of credulous collectors, Shakspcarian and others.

I'his work is something more than a drawing-roocn ornament. It is an elaborate and careful summary of all that one of our most learned antiquaries, after years of pleasant labor on a very pleasant subject, has been able to learn as to the condition of women from the earliest times.
