  6. methods Books are generally three types, • Some books are to be tasted. (People make Judgment solely on acquired books) • Others to be swallowed ( people who read only not by curious) • Some few to be chewed and digested (True scholars would filter information acquired from books and apply it to their own experience)

  7. approaches According to Bacon, • Crafty men condemn studies ( Dishonest men condemn education) • Simple men admire them ( Stupid men admire education ) • Wise men use them ( Knowledge men use education in their real world experience)

  9. demerits According to Bacon, studies have some drawbacks in human life. • Read for estimating the value of the content of books not for aims • Studies not be made for showy purposes or arguments • Theoretical knowledge does not have any bearing in human life.
