My recital, I believe, will speak for itself. Of renown which should rightfully be mine. I do not intend to pen a lengthy self-justification, or tell in detail how I was deceived and cheated out Equally, I intend my account to expose the lies told by those whom I once numbered, wrongly, amongst my friends. I wish to recount the journey which I made to England in the year 1663, the events which I witnessed and the people I met, these being, I hope, of some interest to those concerned Marco da Cola, gentleman of Venice, respectfully presents his greetings.
Francis Bacon, Novum Organum Scientarum, Section II, Aphorism VI. For Men associate by Discourse, and a false and improper Imposition of Words strangely possesses the Understanding, for Words absolutely force the Understanding, and put all Things into Confusion. There are Idols which we call Idols of the Market.
