like his ancestors. His early life was licentious, but he afterwards con 

 ceived a disgust for the world, and when forty years of age studied 

 Latin and Arabic at Paris. While preaching Christianity in Africa he 

 was stoned by the natives, and carried off by a Genoese vessel, on board 

 of which he died off the coast of Majorca, March 26, 1315. For an 

 account of his art, which he said was revealed to him on a mountain, see 

 Maurice s Mediaeval Philosophy, pp. 244 &c. Cornelius Agrippa says 

 of it, herein I wil admonishe you, that this Arte auaileth more to the 

 outwarde shewe of the witte, and to the ostentation of Learning, than to 

 gette knowledge: and hath much more presumptuousnesse, than effi- 

 cacie. Of the Vanitie and Uncertaintie of Artcs and Sciences, cap. 9 

 (Engl. trans, ed. 1575). [27] De Augm. vi. 3. [Ib.] which concerneth 

 the illustration of tradition : Lat. de illvstratione sermonis. [33] Adapted 

 from Ex. iv. 16. See Ex. vii. I.

 [8] hath made : Observe the loose construction, the singular being used 

 for the plural. [18] The Latin adds, Rhetorica certe Phantasia quemad- 

 modum Dialectica Intdlectui snbsentit : Rhetoric is to the imagination 

 what logic is to the understanding. [23] morality: Lat. Ethicam, ethics 

 or moral philosophy. [26] Lat. ant argumentorum fallaciis obruimur. 



P. 178. [2] to fill the imagination: Lat. phantasiam implere observa- 

 tinnibus et simttlockris. [4] Plato, Gorg. i. p. 462, &c. [13] Thuc. iii. 

 42. [iS] Plato, Phocdr. iii. 250: see also Cic. De Off. i. 5. 14; de Fini- 

 bus, ii. 16. 52 ; Rabelais, Pantag. ii. 18. For the opposite sentiment 

 compare Pope, Essay on Man, Ep. ii. 217 : 



Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, 

 As, to be hated, needs but to be seen. 



[23] The Latin adds, a Cicerone. See Cicero, De Fin. iv. 18, 19; Tusc. 

 Disp. ii. 1 8. 42. [26] with the will: Lat. cum phantasia et voluntate.

 attributed to Zeno; Cicero, Orat. xxxii. 113; De Finibus, ii. 6. 17; 

 Sextus Empiricus, Adv. Mathem. ii. 7. Bacon uses it again, though in 

 a different context, in his letter to Toby Matthew, upon sending him 

 part of Instauratio Magna (Life and Letters, iv. 137): And to speak 

 truth, it is to the other but as palma to pugnus, part of the same thing 

 more large. [19] palm : pawme in ed. 1605. [23] Arist. Rhet. i. 2.

P. 1 80. [9] attendances: See p. 177, and therefore the deficiences 

 which I shall note will rather be in some collections, which may as 

 handmaids attend the art, than in the rules or use of the art itself. The 

 Latin has qua (vt ante diximus) ejns sunt generis, ut pro appendicibus potiut
