Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Francis Bacon, Baron of Verulam, Viscount St. Alban, and Lord High Chancellor of England, Vol. 4 of 10 I Do here most humbly present and dedicate unto your Majesty a sheaf and cluster of fruit of that good and favourable season, which by the influence of your happy government we enjoy; for if it be true that silent leges inter arma, it is also as true, that your Majesty is in a double respect the life of our laws; once, because without your authority they are but litera mortua; again, because you are the life of our peace, without which laws are put to silence. And as the vital spirits do not only maintain and move the body, but also do contend to perfect and renew it; so your sacred Majesty, who is anima legis, doth not only give unto your laws force and vigour; but also hath been careful of their amendment and reforming; wherein your Majesty´s proceeding may be compared, as in that part of your government, for if your government be considered in all the parts, it is incomparable, with the former doings of the most excellent Princes that have reigned, who have ever studied to adorn and honour times of peace with the amendment of the policy of their laws. Of this proceeding in Augustus Cæsar the testimony remaineth. Pace datâ terris, animum ad civilia vertit Jura suum; legesque tulit justissimus auctor. Hence was collected the difference between gesta in armis and acta in toga, whereof Cicero disputeth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
