This is an interesting collection of the miscellaneous scientific writings and experiments of Francis Bacon 1561-1626 appended with his utopian work “A New Atlantis.†The book first appeared the year after his death edited and published by William Rawley but went through a number of editions reflecting the popularity of his writings. While Bacon would be well educated in his early years as the youngest son in his family he would be left without land money or position upon his father’s death in 1579. However thanks to his tremendous intellect and political skills he would have a very successful political and intellectual career and would prosper under James I. Among his many accomplishments would be obtaining the post of attorney general but bribery charges would bar him from ever holding public office again. He would publish a good deal in his later years and legend suggests that his intellectual curiosity would eventually cost him his life when he caught chill after experimenting with the impact of cold temperatures on decaying meat. More recently it has been suggested that his death was caused by “inhaling remedial substances†in an effort to improve his health. ODNB. STC 1173. William Lee, books

First printing with "1" at base of text on page 121. Weird mystery novel. "Bacon a successful author in the first quarter of the twentieth century of fiction that was both 'popular' and 'literary' has tended to fall between these two stools in the estimate of posterity. This is unfortunate as she was a skillful craftsman and had things to say especially on the subject of the emancipated modern woman where her views manage to contain nuance skepticism and passion. She also had a recurrent interest in the supernatural as documented by Dorothy Scarborough in her important early study The Supernatural in Modern English Fiction. The main titles of relevance here are THE STRANGE CASES OF DR. STANCHON 1913 IN THE BORDER COUNTRY 1909 and the present title." - Robert Eldridge. Locke A Spectrum of Fantasy p. 26.

Bacon one of the great intellectuals of his era held the posts of Solicitor General Attorney General and Lord Chancellor during the reign of James I. The Elements of the Common Laws of England is the general title for a work that is comprised of two different treatises: A Collection of Some Principall Rules and Maximes of the Common Lawes of England and The Use of the Law Provided for the Preservation of Our Persons Goods and Good Names. The first contains a set of twenty-five maxims or regulae one of the earliest if not first collection of maxims on English law. These maxims are remarkable for their stylistic vigor intellectual rigor meticulousness and clarity. The Regulae was intended to be the first part of De Regulis Juris a codification of English law that Bacon never completed. This is quite unfortunate observes Holdsworth because "he alone had the philosophical capacity the historical knowledge. unknown books
