De modo autem hujusmodi historiæ conscribendæ, illud imprimis monemus,
ut materia et copia ejus, non tantum ab historiis et criticis petatur, verum etiam
per singulas annorum centurias, aut etiam minora intervalla, seriatim libri præ-
cipui qui eo temporis spatio conscripti sunt, in consilium adhibeantur ; ut ex
eorum non perlectione (id enim infinitum quiddam esset), sed degustatione, et
observatione argumenti, styli, methodi, genius illius temporis literarius, veluti
incantatione quadam, a mortuis evocetur. - BACON, de Augm. Scient.
