This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Francis Bacon's works entitled The Remaines of the Right Honorable Francis Lord Verulam (1st edition, 1648). It can be used to create a link to an online edition of the work (contents) at the (Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |author= – the name of the author of a chapter other than Bacon.
• |1= or |chapter= – mandatory: the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

• |2= or |page=; or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11.
  • 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 the online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
