Of Studies- Francis Bacon

 Of Studies  Studies serves for Delight ( pleasure), for Ornament ( Showoff), and for Ability (practical ability). Their Chief use for Delight, is in privateness and retiring. For Ornament, is in discourse and ability, is in judgement, and Disposition of Business. Studies means Experience in practical way Some Books 📚 are to be Tasted, Others to be Swallowed and Some few to be Chewed and Digested, that is, some books 📖 are to be R only in parts, others to be read, but not curious 🧐 and Some few to be read wholly and with diligence and attention. Some Books 📚 also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others, but that would be only in the less important arguments and the meaner sort of books 📖📚 else Distilled books are like common distilled water, flashy things.
