INGLEBY, See also:CLEMENT See also:MANSFIELD (1823—1886) , See also:English Shakespearian See also:scholar, was See also:born at Edgbaston, See also:Birmingham, on the 29th of See also:October 1823, the son of a See also:solicitor. After taking his degree at Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, he entered his See also:father's See also:office, eventually becoming a partner. In 18J9 he abandoned the See also:law and See also:left Birmingham to live near See also:London. He contributed articles on See also:literary, scientific and other subjects to various magazines, but from 1874 devoted himself almost entirely to Shakespearian literature. His first See also:work in this See also:field had been an exposure of the manipulations of See also:John See also:Payne See also:Collier, entitled The See also:Shakespeare Fabrications (1859); his work as a commentator began with The Still See also:Lion (1874), enlarged in the following See also:year into Shakespeare See also:Hermeneutics. In this See also:book many of the then existing difficulties of Shakespeare's See also:text were explained. In the same year (1875) he published the Centurie of Prayse, a collection of references to Shakespeare and his See also:works between 1592 and 1692. His Shakespeare: the See also:Man and the Book was published in 1877—1881; he also wrote Shakespeare's Bones (1882), in which he suggested the disinterment of Shakespeare's bones and an examination of his See also:skull. This See also:suggestion, though not due to vulgar curiosity, was regarded, however, by public See also:opinion as sacrilegious. He died on the 26th of See also:September 1886, at See also:Ilford, See also:Essex. Although Ingleby's reputation now rests solely on his works on Shakespeare, he wrote on many other subjects. He was the author of See also:hand-books on metaphysic and See also:logic, and made some contributions to the study of natural See also:science.
