Book Description

Excerpt from The Life of Francis, Lord Bacon: Baron of Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, and Lord High Chancellor of England In giving his vote to the verdict of guilty, therefore, he has had to do strong violence to him self; and his only comfort, after that which arises from the sense of having discharged a duty is, the humble hope that Lord Bacon may be more useful as a moral beacon, than he has ever been, or can be, as an intellectual leader.
