The first contains a set of twenty-five maxims or regulae. One of the earliest if not first collections of maxims on English law it is remarkable for its stylistic vigor intellectual rigor meticulousness and clarity. The second treatise is a review of the history and practical application of criminal law estate law personal property law and the law of slander i.e. "the preservation of our good names from shame and infamy". The Use of the Law is probably not in fact by Bacon; it was first printed anonymously as Part II of The Lawyers Light 1629 by Sir John Doddridge.

In a 1789 letter to John Trumbull he said he considered Bacon Locke and Newton to be "the three greatest men that have ever lived without any exception."
