Dedicated “To the right worshipful wise and learned Knight, Sir Jvstinian Lewin,” by T. W., who dates “from my study in St. John’s x. Calend. of March.” Lowndes quotes Dr. Farmer’s “Essay on the Learning of Shakespeare” as pointing to ‘‘ The Optick Glasse of Hvmors” as the source from which Shakespeare derived the saying of Shylock: ‘‘And others when a Bagpipe sings 1 th’ nose cannot contain their urine for affection”; whereas what Farmer says is, that the story is found in Scaliger’s “ Exercitations against Cardan,” and was afterwards printed in Le Loyer’s ‘Treatise of Spectres,” whence Shakespeare must have taken it. If this were so, it must have been from the original French, as the English version did not appear till 1605. All that Farmer says of this book is: ‘‘ The passage from Scaliger is likewise to be met with in ‘The Optick Glasse of Hvymors,’ written, I believe, by T. Wombwell.” By Lowndes it is attributed to T. Walkington. 7851 W. (T.)
