The Essays, Or Counsels, Civil and Moral, of Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, Viscount St. Albans: Edited with Introduction and Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Essays, or Counsels, Civil and Moral, of Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, Viscount St. Albans: Edited With Introduction and Notes

The present edition of Bacon's Essays has been prepared in the hope that the young students in whose hands it is placed may quickly come to feel the charm of these frank commentaries upon life and its problems, and to recognize, with Emerson that, despite his limitations, Bacon marks the influx of idealism into England. Where that goes is poetry, health and progress.
