Lord Bacon.TheLord Chancellor of England was the greatest genius of his age, and endued with extraordinary talents and inclination to promote the cause of literature. He died at the age of sixty-six, and so poor, that there remains a letter of his to the king, praying his bounty, “lest he, who had only wished to live to study, might be obliged now to study to live.” He was born to instruct others, and to set them in the right way to be teachers themselves.
