He is less well known as a poet writer of gothic novels and histories. ------ His father Samuel Ireland was a successful publisher of travelogues collector of antiquities and collector of Shakespearian plays and relics. With no in the hand of Shakespeare documents. forgery would fill this void. ----- William Henry also became a collector of books. In many later recollections Ireland described his fascination with the works and the glorious death of the forger Thomas Chatterton and probably knew the Ossian poems of James Macpherson. When he was apprenticed to a mortgage lawyer Ireland began to experiment with blank genuinely old papers and forged signatures on them. Eventually he forged several documents until he was ready to present them to his father. ------- In December 1794 William told his father that he had discovered a cache of old documents belonging to an acquaintance who wanted to remain unnamed and that one of them was a deed with a signature of Shakespeare in it. He gave the document which he had of course made himself to his overjoyed father who had been looking for just that kind of signature for years. ----- Ireland first forged a letter that he claimed was written by Shakespeare expressing gratitude towards the Earl of Southampton for his patronage. ----- Ireland went on to make more findings a promissory note a written declaration of Protestant faith letters to Anne Hathaway with a lock of hair attached and to Queen Elizabeth all supposedly in Shakespeare's hand. He claimed that all came from the chest of the anonymous friend. He 'found' books with Shakespeare's notes in the margins and 'original' manuscripts for Hamlet and King Lear. The experts of the day authenticated them all. ----- On 24 December 1795 Samuel Ireland published his own book about the papers a lavishly illustrated and expensively produced set of facsimiles and transcriptions of the papers called Miscellaneous Papers and Legal Instruments under the Hand and Seal of William Shakespeare the book bears the publication date 1796. More people took interest in the matter and the plot began to unravel. ------- In 1795 Ireland became bolder and produced a whole new play Vortigern and Rowena. After extensive negotiations Irish playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan acquired rights for the first production of the play at London's Drury Lane Theatre for £300 and a promise of half of all profits to the Irelands. ------- Sheridan and John Philip Kemble actor and manager of Drury Lane Theatre later claimed he had serious doubts about its authenticity; he also suggested that the play appear on April Fool's Day though Samuel Ireland objected and the play was moved to the next day. -------- Although the Shakespeare papers had prominent believers including James Boswell sceptics had questioned their authenticity from the beginning and as the premiere of Vortigern approached the press was filled with arguments over whether the papers were genuine or forgeries. -------- The play had only one performance and was not revived until 2008. wiki.

Oblong duodecimo paperbound stiff stapled thick pages unpaginated 20 pp. Very Good with minor foxing age darkened spotting to cover; filled in completely and neatly. From Foreword by the Home Secretary: This series of A. R. P. cigarette cards shows in clear pictures some of the things that the Government and the Local Authorities are working out for the protection of the general public and also some of the things that each member of the public can do for himself in time of emergency. As Home Secretary I am responsible for a Home Defence Service which might affect the life of any person in the country and I therefore welcome these cigarette cards for the manner in which they bring home to the householder and his family what they can do for themselves. Air Raid Precautions are not mysterious. They are based on commonsense suggestions and the essential things recommended cost very little and demand ingenuity and improvisation rather than expenditure. Even some of the more elaborate recommendations can be carried out quite easily in co-operation with a neighbour. I commend a study of these cards to your attention. unknown books
