COMPANION ΤΟ THE RAILWAY EDITION OF LORD CAMPBELL'S LIFE OF BACON. BY A RAILWAY READER. Say, shall my little bark attendant sail, LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, 193, PICCADILLY. 210.6.13. 1 ADVERTISEMENT. THE criticism upon Lord Campbell's Life of Bacon,' which forms the chief part of this little volume, appeared in the Examiner' on the 25th of December, 1852, in a notice of Mr. Bohn's recent edition of Bacon's moral and historical works. The pages referred to are those of the second volume of the Lives of the Chancellors,' third edition. The "Remarks" which I have prefixed and interspersed 6 refer to the new edition of the Life of Bacon' which appeared about the beginning of May in Murray's Railway Reading,' and in which some of the passages referred to by the Examiner' have been altered. The criticism and the remarks together will form, it is thought, a useful companion to Mr. Murray's volume. London, June, 1853. |
