chosen hero we'll, and. on the whole, with
admirable impartialty, even though

hand DR.. Sleeves affirms that ut was an
accepted practice in those days for
Judges to accept presents and fees" yet
that most obvious Of defences was not
brought forward by Bacon at all. The
sketch amply suffices for It's purpose,
however. which we take It is chiefly to
serve as a chronological thread on which

acknowledged writings. The author, be
it added, wisely considers the Bacon

 A discussion of the needs of the insti- tuition and suggestions for the success of the society circus were made.
