INGLEBY, CLEMENT MANSFIELD English Shakespearian scholar, was born at Edgbaston, Birming ham, on Oct. 29, 1823, studied at Trinity college, Cambridge, and eventually became partner in the business of his father, a solicitor. But in 1859 he came to London, commenced journal ism, and from 1874 devoted himself exclusively to work on Shakespeare. Ingleby exposed the manipulations of J. P. Collier as early as 1859 in his The Shakespeare Fabrications. He was at one time vice-president of the New Shakspere Society, and was one of the original trustees of the "birthplace." His other works include : Shakespeare Hermeneutics (I 8 7 5) ; Shakespeare: The Man and the Book (1877-81) ; and Shakespeare's Bones (1882), in which he recommended disinterment and examination of Shakespeare's skull.
