Excerpt from Life of Edmond Malone: Editor of Shakespeare; With Selections From His Manuscript Anecdotes Mr. Chetwood - His Letters. A thorough Irish antiquary will find pleasure in searching out the history of the Malones. It is one of the most national of the country. No Saxon has anything to say to it. He may plunge into the nu known depths of Milesians and Celts; disport himself as wildly as Irishmen are said to do in the mysteries of races; and emerge with as little positive know ledge of sober facts as any of his predecessors.
