This short paragraph republished from an English newspaper (The Sun, 31 May 1838?) tells of the auctioning of a Shakespeare autograph. The autograph was found on the fly-leaf of a copy of the John Florio translation of the works of Montaigne. Considered authentic in 1838, by the beginning of the twentieth century it was recognised as a forgery.
