"...for boldness is an ill keeper of promise."

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."

Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.

Read merely as an historical appendix to gain insight & context into the political thought of those during the Revolutionary times. Very dry as expected and not necessarily too insight for modern readers. Placed in context, it could point towards some more radical ideas towards monarchical society.
