But on the other hand I think that Bacon's act, though criminal, was a political rather than a moral, and (if I may so speak) an artificial rather than a natural crime.

I do not call it a sin of ignorance ; it was more than that ; but I tiiink it may be called a sin of vaattention ; and if we allow a distinction between vice and frailty, may be classed among the frailties.
