This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Francis Bacon's work Of the Colours of Good and Evill, a Fragment as it appears in his Essayes (3rd edition, 1632 reprint) and in The Works of Francis Bacon (volume VII, 1859); the version appearing in the 1st edition (London: [John Windet] for Humfrey Hooper, , 1597; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 3rd edition (1632 reprint).
• 1859 version.

The template takes the following parameters:

3rd edition (1632 reprint)

• |1= or |page= – as this work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=FpJLAAAAcAAJ&pg=PT3, specify |page=3.

1859 version

• |year= – mandatory: if quoting from the 1859 version, specify |year=1859. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 3rd edition.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=77–78.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

Both versions

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
