There's a wonderful quote attributed to Bacon I've seen in a number of works but none of them seem to have the original source and I can't find it in any of his works available online.

neither hand or mind alone suffice; the tools and devices they employ finally shape them

Anyone have the full reference - I need it for a paper I'm writing but an atributed quote is not good enough.

I can't help you, but it is a great quote, an evolutionary idea.
