thought of English-speaking peoples on both sides of the Atlantic, where the worshippers still think and feel in its phrases. So much has been done by the language of these great works to anchor religious thought and senti

ment.

So in fields other than religious. The lines of Shakespeare beat forever in our minds. And the effect as well as fame of Bacon has lasted because of the splendid language in which he clothed both his wisdom and his vanity. In a politer land, the excellence of persuasive utterance in Montaigne's Essays set a point of view and suggested suave intellectual methods to Frenchmen.

An exception seems to be afforded by the works of physical investigation. The authors were devoted to the discovery of fact. Here all was brave inception, but as yet too crude to admit of finished statements. Great expressions were yet to come in the somewhat later formulations, in Kepler's laws or Galileo's, or Newton's still grander generalization.
