At the age of seventy -,five on the 20th of Decem-
ber, died Mr S. \V. Singer, whose name has been
most recently before the literai y \vo11d'1n connexion
with the sale of his collection of MSS. and as an
editor of Shakspc are cand Bacon. Mr. Singer had
been a labourer during a long and studious life, and
his name occurs 011 title-pages from the very begin-
ning of the century. Mr. Singer may be consi-
dered to have been entirely self-educated, but his
knowledge of books and of their contents was
extensive, minute and multifarious: his services,
especially to the cause of Old English Literature,
must be rated high. His habits were retired, and
his tastes refined; and while he shared the fate
which no illustrator of the text of Shakspeare seems-
able to escape, of being involved in controversies
occasionally more than warm, his nature wa kindly—
and his attachments were affectionate. ) ‘
