G. G. Gazette, No. 61, Nov. 28th, 1863.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 28th Oct., 1863.

The following Circular, in reference to a
proposed National Shakespeare Memo-
rial, is published for general information.

ALFRED DOMETT.

Committee Room, Pall Mall,
London, August, 1863.

Sir,— We do ourselves the honor of calling
your Excellency’s attention to the accom-
panying resolution of the Shakespeare Com-
mittee, inviting your co-operation in making
known to her Majesty’s subjects within your
Province, the intention to celebrate, next
year, the Three Hundredth Birthday of
Shakespeare, in a manner worthy of the poet
and of the poet’s countrymen.

It is felt by the Noblemen and Gentlemen
composing the Shakespeare Committee that
all her Majesty’s subjects who speak the
language of Shakespeare must regard with
interest the proposal to commemorate his
birth by the erection of a monument
in a conspicuous part of London. It may not be
possible for many of those who reside in dis-
tant parts of the British dominions to assist
personally, on the 23rd of April, 1864, in
laying the Foundation Stone of the proposed
National Memorial. Nevertheless, as many
thousands so circumstanced must desire to
contribute towards such an undertaking, it is
hoped they may be afforded a suitable oppor-
tunity of doing so.

The Committee have therefore instructed
us to communicate with the Representatives
of the Crown in the various British Colonies,
and to request their good offices in making
the object of this application widely known.

The people of England have had so many
recent and gratifying proofs of the strong
sympathy which unites them to their Colonial
brethren in all matters of national interest,
that we anticipate a hearty and early re-
sponse to this invitation on the part of your
Council, and of the community, the adminis-
tration of whose affairs has been entrusted
to your Excellency.

“Proposed by Sir Richard MacDonnell, C.B.,
seconded by Thomas Wright, Esq., That the Gover-
nors of Her Majesty’s Colonies and Indian Possessions be
invited to make known the objects of this Committee
within their respective Provinces, and to enlist the
sympathy and support of Her Majesty’s subjects
throughout the British Dependencies, in aid of the
erection of the contemplated National Shakespeare
Monument.”
