The comedies, histories, tragedies, and poems of William Shakspere . upposition thatthis allusion was meant by Shakspere be correct, the date of the play is pretty exactly deter-mined ; for the war of the League was in effectconcluded by Henrys renunciation of the Pro-testant faith in 1593. ^ Scene IL— Where America, the Indies?This is certainly one of the boldest anachron-isms in Shakspere; for, although the period ofthe action of the Comedy of Errors mayinclude a range of four or five centuries, it mustcertainly be placed before the occupation ofEphesus by the Mohammedans, and thereforesome centuries before the discovery of America VOL.
