Présentation de l'éditeur

In preparing this sketch it is needless to say how deeply I am indebted to Mr. Spedding and Mr. Ellis, the last editors of Bacon swritings, the very able and painstaking commentators, the one on Bacon slife, the other on bis philosophy. It is impossible to overstate the affectionate care and high intelligence and honesty with which Mr. Sjtedding has brought together and arranged the materials for an estimate of Bacon scharacter. In the result, in spite of the force and ingenuity of much of his pleading, I find myself most reluctantly obliged to differ from him; it seems to me to be ucase where the French saying, cited by Bacon, in one of his commonplace books, holds good Pur trap te c Ufialtre, la vMU se perd. But this does not diminish the debt of gratitude which all wlio are interested about Bacon must owe to Mr. Spedding. I wish also to acknowledge the assistance which I have received from Mr. Gardiner s History of England and Mr. Fowler sedition of the Novum Organmn: and not least fixim M. de I temusat swork on Bacon, which seems to mo the most complete and the most just estimate Protmu: edited by Mrs. H. Pott, p. 476.
