Histories make men wise。 and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory。 else distilled books are, like mon distilled waters, flashy things.Reading makes a full man。 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。 that is, some books are to be read only in parts。 nor to find talk and discourse。 but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute。 and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men condemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them。 to use them too much for ornament, is affectation。 and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business.
