226 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES edition contains, among many other letters, the one written by Sir Toby Matthew to Bacon, showing the important, the all-important postscriptum. MR. SPEDDING SUP PRESSED THAT LETTER. And why did not Mr. Spedding, who otherwise collected every scrap, include that letter in his edition, a letter, the authenticity of which no one can, no one ever did, doubt ? We know of one reason only. It did not suit Mr. Spedding, after all the trouble he had gone to, in publishing a goodly number of Bacon's works, to hunt for the famous pseudonym to which Matthew alludes. The truth revealed by the Northumberland Manuscript Richard the Second and Richard the Third, by Francis Bacon) lid not fit in with Mr. Spedding's calculations ; the truth revealed by Matthew's letter did not fit in with his calcula tions either. He regretted having published the former, and omitted the latter altogether from his edition. But an edition of the Life and Works of Francis Bacon without the Northumberland Manuscript, and without Toby Matthew's letter with the postscriptum, is not a complete edition. We are indebted to Mr. Spedding for a great deal, but it is to Mr. Basil Montagu that we owe the publication of the words : The most prodigious wit is of your Lordship's name, though he be known by another. In suppressing that all-important letter, Mr. Spedding had made himself guilty of a great crime. He tried to do away with something which did not suit him and many others. Why else should it have been that very letter and no other ?
APPENDIX TO CHAPTER II FRANCIS BACON'S ALLUSIONS TO THEATRE AND STAGE WE cannot possibly quote all Bacon says upon this subject, the passages in which it is mentioned being too numerous. We shall, therefore, limit ourselves to reproducing the principal sentences in which he speaks directly of theatre, stage and actors, or uses comparisons referring to them. From "The Advancement of Learning" : Orpheus' theatre. The division of poesy which is aptest in the propriety thereof is into poesy narrative, representative, and allusive. Representative is as a visible history, and is as an image of actions as if they were present. But it is not good to stay too long in the theatre. We see a notable example in Tacitus of two stage players, Perennius and Vibulenus, who by this faculty of playing put the Pannonian armies into an extreme tumult and combustion. But he played it merely as if he had been upon the stage. Tiberius, who was never seen in a play. But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on. Quid est deformius quam scenam in vitam transferre ? From " De Augmentis Scientiarum " : Dramatiea autem poesis, quae theatrum habet pro mundo, usu eximia est, si sana foret. Non parva enim esse potest theatri, et disciplina, et corruptela. Attamen licet in rebuspublicis modernis, habeatur pro re ludicra actio theatralis, nisi forte nimium trahat e satyra, et mordeat. Mimi in scena agendis. Amori multum debet scena.
