Excerpt from The Cipher Found A prominent gentleman being interviewed as to the Donnelly cipher, said: "The question whether Bacon was the author of the works, or of certain works of Shakespeare, is not new, and I have read numerous pamphlets on the subject, which have taught me nothing... It suffices me to admire "Hamlet, " "Macbeth, " "King Lear, " etc., and I do not seek to know if God exists. The sun shines, and that is enough." Every one is not so easily satisfied. The light of the sun is but one of the many wonders of the Divine Author. We should always, as Lord Bacon says, "enlarge as far as God will permit, the borders of mans dominion." Men of an anylitical bent of mind, have found much to interest them in the Bacon-Shakesperian controversy, and probably without thinking much about doing au act of justice to either author, have determined, if possible, to pluck the mystery out of the works themselves, by endeavoring to discover a cipher, on the clue furnished by various authors. Among the first to call attention to this matter was Mrs. Delia Bacon in a work which displays the greatest research, and a mind capable of fathoming the deepest subjects.
