Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Francis Bacon, Vol. 2: Baron of Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, and Lord High Chancellor of England Of the style of translation which has been at tempted, I have spoken in my preface to the fourth volume. And though the authorship is of a more mixed character than I could have wished, I hope it will not be found that the number of the work men has materially impaired the substantial value of the work. The translation of the Novum Organum was finished many years ago. The manuscript, having been carefully examined and much corrected, first by myself, and afterwards by Mr. Ellis, remained in my hands pending the completion of the first three volumes; and was ultimately, for reasons with which it is not necessary to trouble the reader, com mitted entirely to my charge. In carrying it through the press, I felt myself at liberty to make whatever alterations I pleased; and therefore, if any errors remain, I must consider myself answerable for them.
