Thanks for the information about Washington Irving and about the spare skull, jason_c.

Elizabeth Wells Gallup had assisted Orville Owen in preparing his books about Bacon's "word cipher." Later, she produced her own decoded messages from the Shakespeare plays, Bacon's writings and other works. She claimed that they had been encoded using Bacon's "Bi-lateral cipher" through the intermixing of two distinct fonts in printing the books.

I'll link to the Friedmans' book again, since it devotes considerable space to the Gallup cipher.

Re "How Shakespeare's Skull was Stolen / Circa 1794 / by a Warwickshire man"-- I recently watched this on public television:

http://www.pbs.org/show/shakespeares-tomb/

The link has online videos of part of the discussion about the missing skull and the search with ground-penetrating radar.
They also discussed how the idea might have gotten started because the marker-stone above his grave seems too short for a full-sized man.

I don't know what I am getting involved in here. The Shakespeare controversy seems to be a mile off from the original discussion and im unsure how relevant Shakespeare is to the thread, or how we got here. However, Shakespeare's life & times and the authorship question is my pet subject. With regards to the supposedly missing skull:

I was disappointed with the Channel 4 documentary on Shakespeare's grave. At face value it looked quite detailed and professional documentary. However, it deliberately mislead. It left out some very pertinent information that any decent researcher should have known; that Shakespeare's entire skeleton is probably missing and has been for some time. This below is from the American writer, Washington Irving. Irving toured Stratford in the late 18th century. Here is Irving detailing a conversation he had with an old sexton of the Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-on-Avon:


"The inscription on the tombstone has not
been without its effect. It has prevented the
removal of his remains from the bosom of his
native place to Westminster Abbey, which was
at one time contemplated. A few years since
also, as some labourers were digging to make an
adjoining vault, the earth caved in, so as to
leave a vacant space almost like an arch,
through which one might have reached into his
grave. No one, however, presumed to meddle
with his remains, so awfully guarded by a
malediction ; and lest any of the idle or the
curious, or any collector of relics, should be
tempted to commit depredations, the old sexton
kept watch over the place ^for two days, until
the vault was finished, and the aperture closed
again. (22) He told me that he had made bold to
look in at the hole, but could see neither coffin
nor bones; nothing but dust. It was something,
I thought, to have seen the dust of Shakespeare."[/I]

This isn't cast iron proof that Shakespeare's bones have disappeared, but I would think it pertinent information to a documentary dealing with Shakespeare's skull & bones. Yet the documentary failed to mention this passage from the only person who claims to have seen inside the grave.

Tradename, the skull in question was determined not to have been Shakespeare's. From memory it was determined to have been a female skull.

How Shakespeare's Skull was Stolen
Circa 1794
by a Warwickshire man

[Mayerling]

Hi TradeName,

Nothing to really contribute to this magnificent side issue of the "Baconian Theory on Shakespeare" and "the Great Cryptogram". Ignatius Donnelly is quite a character in his own right. A leading populist politician (and Minnesota Congressman for awhile) he is the only member of Congress I can recall in it's history who actually was involved in discussing such (dare I suggest it) pseudo-scientific/historical subjects as the authorship of Shakespeare's plays AND the existence of the island or continent of Atlantis. Perhaps other political figures in the U.S. did think about these things in their spare time, but only Donnelly wrote books (both in print to this day - the "Atlantis" book is called "Atlantis: the Anti-deluvian World" and I believe Dover Publications put out an edition). He also was interested (being from Scandenavian ancestry in part, as well as from Minnesota) in the authenticity of the so-called Kensington Rune-Stone found there in the 19th Century, supposedly (if genuine) proving the Vikings really got into the center of North America.

Donnelly (like all Congressmen) had membership access to the Library of Congress, and made full use of it in his couple of terms in Congress. However, he was a committed reformer, and would support (like a good Populist of the 1880s and 1890s) the "Free Silver" issue to aid farmers in debt by increasing (at a 14:1 ratio rate) silver coinage to gold coinage in the U.S., He wrote several novels, some marred by anti-Semitism (directed at stereotypical "foreign" Jewish bankers who bribed Congress to support only a gold standard). However, he must have reconsidered this - in one novel, "Caesar's Column" he has most of the Jews return to what is now Israel (and Palestine) and make it a successful and wealthy country. In 1900 he was the Populist candidate for Vice President (running with the Populist and Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan, but only with Bryan on the Populist ticket).

I do recall one well known political figure of the 19th Century (besides Donnelly, but not American) who got involved with the "Atlantis" discussion to some extent - and he is one who has tread the threads of this board on many occasions. He also tried to reform prostitutes he took home - and got into some stupid trouble but not permanently damaging as a result. it's "the people's William", the "Grand Old Man" (or as the Tories would say after Khartoum fell, the "Murderer of Gordon") Mr. Gladstone. Prime Minister William Gladstone apparently read Donnelly's Atlantis book, and sent an order to some of the naval ships to look for traces of the lost continent. Commendable use of the navy, not much in use in the 1880s.

Such use of naval craft for these ideas is not totally unusual. Theodore Roosevelt had long been fascinated by naval power, and his honor's thesis in Harvard for "history", "The Naval War of 1812" is still in print. As a reward for supporting William McKinley in 1896 against William Jennings Bryan, TR was appointed to be Assistant Secretary of the Navy (under John Long), and basically ran the department - his greatest accomplishments being getting funding for Professor Samuel Langley's flying machined ("the Aerodrome") in 1896 after reading of Langley's initial success with a model on the Potomac River (later, as most aviation students recall, Langley's full size model crashed in two attempted flights with a pilot in October and December 1903, the second a week or so before two brothers successfully flew a bi-plane at Kitty Hawk, N.C., without public funding), and (more successfully) sending Commodore George Dewey's Pacific Squadron to attack the Spanish fleet at Manilla Bay (which was our first victory in the Spanish American War). TR, when he achieved the Presidency (and kept John Long on as his Secretary of the Navy, as a reward for giving him so much power under McKinley) retained his interest in naval affairs, and made (for awhile) the U.S. Navy second in size to the British Navy (although Germany soon surplanted us) , and would send "the Great White Fleet" of chosen battlewagons around the globe from 1907 to February 1909, as an advertisement of our being a real world power. But he also used the U.S.S. Brooklyn to go on a special voyage to France in 1905, after the remains of John Paul Jones were found in a French graveyard, to bring them back to the U.S. (where they were interned in a special memorial tomb at Annapolis in Maryland). Finally he sent some battleship to the recently acquired Hawaiian Islands on a search for possible traces or even survivors of the crew of the U.S.S. Levant, a frigate we lost in 1860 while on a voyage to the then Kingdom of Hawaii. It had succeeded in accomplishing it's mission, but it hit a violent storm at sea, and only some wreckage was found near the island of Hijo in Hawaii. Rumors that there might still be survivors on the island (even in 1903) reached TR, and he sent this mission, which found nothing.

But the storm my guilty conscience had forseen, however, was not, to be long delayed in the breaking. One morning in getting down to my office, I found piled on my table twenty-three copies of a square, twelve mo. pamphlet, entitled “Mr. Donnelly’s Reviewers, By William D. O’Connor, 1889, Chicago, New York San Francisco, Belford Clarke and Company.” On opening one of the copies I found a page “In Memoriam,” stating that Mr. O’Connor had died on the morning of May 9th, 1887. This certainly induced a tender and sympathetic reading 0f the posthumous work of a man I had known so recently in life, and I proceeded to the body of the book almost with reverence. What was my surprise to find that of its ninety pages, thirty-two were devoted to vitulperation and onslaught upon myself, and that the gentleman who was my guest at “Old Tom’s” and “The Studio," and who had assured me that I was the Cid-Campeador of the controversy: “the most brilliant advocate the anti-Shakespeare Theory ever had,” “the keen witted lawyer,” “the wiper-away in one swoop of triviality and cavil,” now declared me really: “A Mud-witted old dufier,” “a Dealer in shallow gufi,” “a leader of anti-Baconian Banditti,” “a Dullard,” “a Dunce,” “a Snarleyow,” “a Persifleur,” “an ossified intelligence,” “a Philistine,” “a man without perception or recepetivity, “one subject to his humours, to moods of resistance or east winds,” “one without generosity or equity,” (“a diminuendo reminding of the warning that, if one carelessly permitted himself to indulge in murder, he might bring up by smoking cigarettes l”) “a Jack the Ripper,” “a Scoundrel who by eggregious flubdub was trying to kill Mr. Donnelly’s magnificent discovery” and so on. The strain however, was varied by pastoral elegance, such as: “All Mr. Morgan wants is a broad hat of plated straw, blue ribbon, a crook. and some sheep, to be a molly-coddle, and an orthodox Shakespearean.” (This referring to my unfortunately having said somewhere that the diction of Mr. Donnelly’s cipher narrative would hardly remind its readers of Lord Bacon’s stately and sumptuous English.)
