The Reading Upon the Statute of Uses of Francis Bacon, Afterwards Baron of Verulam, and Viscount St. Alban; Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Reading Upon the Statute of Uses of Francis Bacon, Afterwards Baron of Verulam, and Viscount St. Alban; Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain <p>Conceiving that studied ornaments of stile in law treatises, are but meretricious decorations, and that the appeal should be to the reason and not to the ear merely, the editor has not wasted his, time by any attempt of that kind; his only aim has been perspicuity, and with that view he has clothed his ideas in the language which first presented itself, and consequently, has addressed the reader in pretty much the same terms as if he had been discussing the subject with him in person. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
