May 7th 1872.
Sir
I am not aware of the existence of any such criticism on Shakspeare as you inquire about. But since we have at last ventured to criticise the Bible it is presumable that the heretical tendency may sooner or later extend to Shakspeare.
I quite sympathize with you in your feeling of despair on this subject.
Yours truly
G. H. Lewes.
