Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Authenticity of Various Pictures and Prints, Which, From the Decease of the Poet to Our Own Times, Have Been Offered to the Public as Portraits of Shakspeare: Containing a Careful Examination of the Evidence on Which They Claim to Be Received

Aubrey, on perhaps good authority, has added something to these pleasing features. He tells us that he was a handsome well-shaped man, very good company, and of a very ready, and pleasant, and smooth wit.
