404 A Century of Science 



Bacon wrote that heavenly book, as well as &quot; Rob 

 inson Crusoe &quot; and the &quot; Tale of a Tub ; &quot; which 

 surely begins to make him seem ubiquitous and 

 everlasting. If things go on at this rate, we shall 

 presently have a religious sect holding as its first 

 article of faith that Francis Bacon created the 

 heavens and the earth in six days, and rested on 

 the seventh day. 



November, 1896.
