I have left almost to the last of the account of my English visit all mention of the Baconians I met and from whom I gained valuable information in corroboration of the Baconian authorship.  In some circles I found that, to suggest that Shakspeare did not write the plays and poems was equal to throwing a bombshell among them.  As a Baconian I received an invitation to a picnic at the beautiful country house of Mr. Edwin Lawrence, with whom I had a pleasant talk.  The house was built on a part of a royal forest, in which firs and pines were planted at the time of the great Napoleonic wars when timber could not be got from the Baltic and England had to trust to her own hearts of oak and her own growth of pine for masts and planks.  Mr. Lawrence had written pamphlets and essays on the Baconian theory, and I found my knowledge of the subject expanding and growing under his intelligent talk.  His wife’s father (J.  Benjamin Smith) had taught Cobden the ethics of free trade.  It was through the kind liberality of Miss Florence Davenport Hill that a pamphlet, recording the speeches and results of the voting at River House, Chelsea, was printed and circulated.  When I visited Miss Hill and her sister and found them as eager for social and political reform as they had been 29 years earlier, I had another proof of the eternal youth which large and high interests keep within us in spite of advancing years.  Miss Davenport Hill had been a member of the London School Board for 15 years, and was reelected after I left England.  Years of her life had been devoted to work for the children of the State, and she was a member of the Board of Guardians for the populous union of St. Pancras.  Everyone acknowledged the great good that the admission of women to those boards had done.  I spent a pleasant time at Toynbee Hall, a University centre, in the poorest part of London, founded by men.  Canon and Mrs. Barrett were intensely interested in South Australian work for State children.  Similar University centres which I visited in America, like Hull House, in Chicago, were founded by women graduates.  Mrs. Fawcett I met several times, but Mrs. Garrett Anderson only once.  When the suffrage was granted to the women of South Australia I received a letter of congratulation from Dr. Helen Blackburn, one of the first women to take a medical degree.  Nowadays women doctors are accepted as part of our daily life, and it is to these brave pioneers of the women’s cause, Drs. Elizabeth Blackwell, Helen Rackburn, Garrett Anderson, and other like noble souls, that the social and political prestige of women has advanced so tremendously all over the English-speaking world.  It only remains now for a few women, full of the enthusiasm of humanity and gifted with the power of public speaking, to gain another and important step for the womanhood of the world in the direction of economic freedom.  Before leaving England I was gratified at receiving a cheque from Mrs. Westlake, contributed by the English
