. Shakespeare the player, and other papers illustrative of Shakespeare's individuality . nected with the company to which he belonged, and theimportant position he had by this time acquired in it. BenJonson, hitherto (1592) almost unknown as an author, had submitted to Shakespeares company a new comedyhe had written, with a view to its production. Accord-ing to the testimony of Rowe, the comedy, which was thefamous Every Man in His Humour, was about to sufferrejection, when Shakespeare interposed, having probablyhad a reading of the manuscript, and used his influence inits favour. Very likely Henslowe was the chief objectorto the purchase of the comedy, in which, perhaps, he didnot see the same elements of success which characterised theapproved work of Shakespeare.

It is also known that Shakespeare played in anotherof Ben Jonsons plays, Sejanus. Whether this was under-taken in fulfilment of mere professional engagements, or outof personal compliment to his friend, the author of the play, there is not a scrap of proof to show. Of the numerous fellow-players and dramatists who weremore or less intimately associated with Shakespeare, andwhose names will never be forgotten because of that good-fortune, very few were
