FOOTNOTES:
[1] "The England of Shakespeare," by E. Goadby--Cassell, Petter, Galpin &
Co., London, E.C.
[2] For the use of the woodcut blocks representing the "Smith Arms," and
the Globe Theatre, we are indebted to our friend Mr. John W. Jarvis,
author of "Musee-Phusee-Glyptic: A Scrap Book of Jottings from
Stratford-on-Avon, and Elsewhere," London, 1875, who introduces them into
the pages of his work thus:--
"Not long since, after a pleasing and interesting walk, one fine
morning on Bankside, and standing near the still existing Cardinal Cap
Alley, with the aid of an artist friend, we drew up a fancy picture of
what Bankside was in Shakespeare's day.--Here a small creek with craft
and busy life around; a small bridge, with road leading to the Globe,
the famous theatre afterwards to be so widely known. The sunshiny time
of our literature and life, making a red-letter period in happy old
England's history. We were interrupted by a kindly-faced,
round-shouldered man of the bargee type, who asked us 'if it was
Shakespeare, him as writ plays, we was a torkin' on; if so be it were,
he could show us the wery 'ouse he used, least ways, all as is left on
it.' After a twisting tramp through Cardinal Cap Alley, we were
brought out opposite the public-house known by the name of the 'Smith
Arms,' which had just then only escaped entire demolition from fire by
a very near chance--(the damage done has since necessitated the
rebuilding; so the sketch stands as a bit of rescued old London.)
