http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/471921206

Journam appears to be responding to a passage in Campbell's book (possibly Shakespeare's legal acquirements considered?). Refers to the theory that Shakespeare might have spent early years in a lawyer's office. Also discusses Shakespeare's relationship with John Fletcher. Journam's address appears as 19 Portland Place, Canonbury N.
