Many years afterwards, the author of this work on the Advancement of Learning, saw occasion to recast it, and put it in another language. But though he has had so long a time to think about it, and though he does not appear to have taken a single step in the interval, towards the supplying of this radical deficiency in human science; we do not find that his views of its importance are at all altered. It is still the first point with him in the scientific culture of human nature,--the first point in that Art of Human Life, which is the end and term of _Natural Philosophy_, as _he_ understands the limits of it. We still find the first Article of the Culture of the Mind put down, 'THE DIFFERENT NATURES OR DISPOSITIONS OF MEN,' _not the vulgar propensities_ to VIRTUES and VICES--note it--'or perturbations and passions, but of such as are _more internal and radical_, which are generally neglected.' 'This is a study,' he says, which 'might afford GREAT LIGHT TO THE SCIENCES.' And again he refers us to the existing supply, such as it is, and repeats with some amplification, his previous suggestions. 'In astrological traditions, the natures and dispositions of men, are tolerably _distinguished_ according to the influence of the planets, where _some_ are said to be by nature formed for _contemplation, others_ for _war_, others for _politics_.' Apparently it _would_ be 'great ministry to policy,' if one could get the occult sources of such differences as these, so as to be able to command them at all, in the culture of men, _or_ in the fitting of men to their places. 'But' he proceeds, 'so likewise among the _poets_ of all kinds, we _everywhere find_ characters of nature, though _commonly_ drawn with excess and _exceeding the limits of nature_.'
