"A learned and valuable work upon the Life of Lord Bacon is prepared for publication
by Mr. B. Montagu, in which some very important facts are proved satisfactorily by the
ingenious author, and show how much the criminality of this great man is exaggerated in
the common accounts of his fall. But it is clearly shown, that he was prevailed upon by
the intrigues of James I. and his profligate minister to abandon his own defence, and sacri-
fice himself to their base and crooked policy—a defence which disgraces them more than
vindicates him. One thing, however, is undeniable, that they who so loudly blame Bacon,
overlook the meanness of almost all the great statesmen of those courtly times."-Lord
Brougham's Discourse of Natural Theology.
