Excerpt from Lord Bacon and Sir Walter Raleigh
The following Essays are to be regarded only as sketches of more extensive works projected by their author. That on Lord Bacon was read, in 1818, to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, from whose Transactions it has been reprinted. It is not so much an exposition of his philosophy, of which it gives only a slight and general outline, as an attempt to trace and determine its influence, both in this country and on the Continent. The Life of Sir Walter Raleigh appeared some years ago in an article in the Edinburgh Review, of which Mr. Napier became the Editor on the retirement of Lord Jeffrey in 1829.
