"The aim of Bacon," says Macaulay, "was utility, fruit; the multiplication of human enjoyments, ... the mitigation of human sufferings, ... the prolongation of life by new inventions," dotare vitam humanum novis inventis et copiis; "the conquest of Nature," dominion over the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air; the application of science to the subjection of the outward world; progress in useful arts, in those arts which enable us to become strong, comfortable, and rich in houses, shops, fabrics, tools, merchandise, new vegetables, fruits, and animals: in short, a philosophy which will "not raise us above vulgar wants, but will supply those wants."
