To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
D. 1626.
Bacon in all his early life was a sturdy beggar for office ; and there was too much of truth in Pope's characterization when he wrote him down forever as " the wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind." While he was still young he told his uncle that he had " taken all knowledge for his province." When old, and after his fall, still ambitious to give advice to great men, he wrote to Buckingham as follows : — "But when I look abroad and see the times so stirring, and so much dissimulation,... falsehood, base- ness, and envy in the world, and so many idle clocks going in men's heads ; then it grieveth me much that I mought give you some of the fruits of the careful advice, modest liberty, and true information of a friend that loveth your lordship as I do." The theory of unconscious genius in its grandest developments cannot be sustained by anything in the history of Bacon. In spite of his disgrace, he was confident of his intellectual merits to the last, and died, as he himself said, leaving "his name and memory to foreign nations, and to mine own country- men after some time is passed over." Referring to his remarkable Essays, Bacon was not unconscious of his power, or of the lustre and reputa- tion these "recreations of his other studies" would • yield to his name.
