A Supportive Note
You have no idea how joyous it makes me to see young readers studying literature. It especially delights me to see that my work as a philosopher is being acknowledged in the distant future. The document which you are dissecting is a particularly well written passage pertaining to my quote; "Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man". Although this is one of my favorite quotes, I shall not be so conceited as to claim that any of the statements listed in paragraph two are true of me. I am but a pupil myself. While I may be educated in philosophy, I fall short in other pillars of knowledge. Therefore I encourage you, students of the future, to not only study thinkers of the past, but study also the world around you. Work diligently, be persistent, and one day students will sit in a classroom and analyze one of your quotes.

Thank you Sir Bacon. Your magnanimous advice is, I am sure, venerated by the students of this course.
