Men come not to sanctuary as they come to baptism, to require it by his godfathers; he must ask it himself that must have it, and reason, sithe no man hath cause to have it but whose conscience of his own fault maketh him have need to require it. What will then hath yonder babe, which if he had discretion to require it, if need were, I daresay would now be right angry with them that keep him there.... And if nobody may be taken out of sanctuary because he sayeth he will abide there, then if a child will take sanctuary because he feareth to go to school, his master must let him alone. And as simple as that example is, yet is there less reason in our case than in it, for there, though it be a childish fear, yet is there at the least some fear, and herein is no fear at all.

Excerpt from The Tragedy of King Richard the Third It is the purpose of tragedy to depict the story of human souls, to show the working of the spirit of man, set in an environment which influences and developes, facing crises which reveal and test; to show how weak nesses, in circumstances fitted to work upon them, result in failure and catastrophe, or how strength of will or of purpose achieves its aims. The interest centres in the representation of the human soul, and its relation to the laws which rule the world of moral action. For the time all that is trivial and accidental, all that is commonplace or belongs to the simple and usual experiences of ordinary life, is set aside; some mighty spirit lays bare before us its joys and sufferings, its struggles and trials, its final issues of doom or of triumph.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
