Critical Comments
Bacon also gives us some excellent advice as to why and how one should read. Furthermore, he tells us that different studies have different effects on the human mind. Various mental defects or shortcomings, says Bacon, an be remedied by various kinds of studies. The need of experience to supplement and studies has duly been emphasised in the essay. Bacon would not be satisfied with mere bookish knowledge The wisdom won by experience is as necessary as the wisdom, gained from books.
