Distinguished Men of Modern Times, Vol. 2 of 4 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

AMONG the many great names which England hoasts
of, few have such claims to her gratitude as that of
FRANCIS BACON. For besides the unparalleled ser-
vices which science received from him, to his original
genius we may indirectly ascribe many, if not most,
of those large improvements in the arts of life which
have raised this nation to the highest place among the
countries of the world.
