{175b} As to the Aldine Ovid in the Bodleian, see Mr. Greenwood in The Vindicators of Shakespeare, pp. 191, 192.  Of course he raises every objection, but I do not feel sure that either an affirmative or negative result can be attained by expertise.  We are not told when or where the Bodleian obtained the book; nor what is the date of the handwriting of the inscription about W. Hall, a personage whom we are to meet later.  A good deal of business is done in forging names in books.
