FrancisBacon’s New Atlantis will be a masterpiece in philosophy as well as in literatureas Plato’s Dialogues have been. Yet the unbearable paragraphs beginning with “wehave…”have spoiled it all. Two such paragraphs may be good, five can bebearable too, but pages after pages of such “we have…”paragraphs withoutattending to many details have driven the reader crazy. The length of this workis not enough to contain so much information. A book of 200 pages or even morecan be much better for such an eventful and meaningful story. O Bacon’s ardentdream of the future!
