...good many subjects, and it would be unpardonably disingenuous to pretend that there is but one opinion about his achievement; but leaving eulogies to the professional encomiasts, it is with pride and satisfaction that the greatness of yet another Harvard, Massachusetts and American career is here acknowledged. --The Boston Globe...
Essex's friend, Southampton, anxious to waken him to his peril and to win the support of the people, turned to a certain new dramatist all London was acclaiming. The crowds storming the Globe to see "Henry IV" had already applauded the wish that Essex might return from Ireland "bring rebellion broached on his sword:" only Shakespeare could waken their enthusiasm again, and show Essex his danger and his opportunity.

The chief ingredient is unwashed English, chopped, and broken, and bruised with a brazen instrument. Then work in chips and fragments of cynicism the seven cardinal sins, the 'Civil Service Regulations,' profanity, the Southern Cross, and genius. Spice with a Tipperary brogue...
...Whitaker Wright began to float companies devoted to ambiguous enterprises. By intermingling their affairs and complicating their books to the utmost, he was able to rob his investors fantastically. Shrewd businessmen who were directors of his London & Globe Co. believed in his infallibility as unquestioningly as did the associates of the late Ivar Kreuger and Samuel Insull. In 1903 London & Globe Co. crashed. Whitaker Wright was charged with issuing false balance sheets. So complicated was the financial maze he had built that no lawyer in England wanted the case. Rufus Isaacs agreed to prosecute it. For days he stood...
