Francis Bacon : the temper of a man / Catherine Drinker Bowen.
In the fullness of his power and reputation as Lord Chancellor of England, Bacon was impeached by parliament for taking bribes in office, convicted and banished from London and the law courts, At the depth of his fall, at the lowest reach of public disgrace and private agony, Bacon wrote a prayer, confessing to God that he had not used his talents to best advantage.
