This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Francis Bacon's works edited by James Spedding, Robert Leslie Ellis, and Douglas Denon Heath entitled The Works of Francis Bacon (1857–1859, 7 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online editions of the work at the Internet Archive:

If a specific quotation template relating to one of Bacon's works is available, use it in preference to this template.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=VII.
• |2=, |chapter=, or |title= – mandatory: the chapter or title of Bacon's work quoted from. If the parameter is given the value indicated in the first column of the following table, the template will display the result indicated in the second column (where possible linked to an English Wikipedia article about the work):

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the date of the work, and to link to a Wikipedia article about the work if one is available. For help with adding such information to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |subchapter= or |subtitle= – the name of a subchapter or subtitle quoted from.
• |date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if the date of a chapter or title quoted from is known, use |date= to specify it in the format 1 January 1600 or January 1, 1600. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the sermon is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information.
• |3= 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=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 an online version of the work.

• |4=, |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.
