It would be a thorough misconception of the title of the present section, to suppose that it has for its object to exalt Shakspeare at the expense of his two great rivals. No doubt it has been disputed often enough which great man is the greater, and which the greatest of all. But there is something childish in all such comparisons, which, as they are generally made, follow either no fixed, or at best an arbitrary, standard.
