Text-Book of Prose From Bacon

Excerpt from Text-Book of Prose From Bacon: With Notes, and Sketches of the Authors' Lives; For Use in Schools and Classes No thoughtful person, I take it, will have any difficulty in gathering that this volume is made up, like its prede cessor, with a special view to the oldest and ripest pupils in our high-schools and seminaries and academies. These pupils, it may well be supposed, are Old enough and ripe enough to unfold at least the beginnings of literary and intellectual taste, so as to be at home and find delight in tasteful and elegant authorship, where the graces may do something towards making the ways of learning ways of pleasantness to them.
