Bacon's essays are written in an aphoristic style. They contain mostly short, crisp, sentences with a didactic bent. Aphoristic essays are known for their precision of style and balancing structure. No superfluous words are used and sentences flow rapidly. They seem abrupt and rugged but express the ideas directly and clearly. As a critic says, the sentences in an aphoristic essay are in a state of 'literary undress'.
