Small quarto modern full brown calf; pp. 18 94; 8 72. $1800.Third edition of ""one of the earliest if not the first published collection of maxims of the English Law"" Rees I: 20.As Britain's Lord Chancellor Francis Bacon excelled as ""one of the Makers of English Law. In all the spheres that a lawyer can occupy he was preeminent"" Reams 105. Yet the displeasure with which James I viewed his reforms prevented any of Bacon's legal works from being published during his lifetime. Central to this conflict was Bacon's belief ""in a large modern centralized nation-state and in a powerful dominant monarchy. Bacon was against medieval ideas of feudalism just as much as he was against medieval notions in metaphysics Bacon rejected Coke's theory of the supremacy of the common law preferring to ascribe supremacy to natural law or to what he went so far as to call reason What was needed was the vision of the statesman and this Bacon himself volunteered to contribute. The statesman was ready to agree that the judges should be honored as lions but the lions should be 'under the throne.' It was this opinion that recommended him to James I yet Bacon did not succeed in winning James' sympathy even when he was closest to him"" Encyclopedia of Philosophy I: 236. Thus the Elements part of Bacon's noble plan to systematize and reform English law was published posthumously.Among America's Founding Fathers Jefferson held Bacon in especially high esteem. He considered Bacon Locke and Newton to be ""the three greatest men that have ever lived without any exception"" February 15 1789 letter to John Trumbull. While only 25 of the hundreds of maxims collected by Bacon were ever published Elements stands acclaimed as ""one of the earliest if the not the first published collection of Maxims of the English Law in the science of the grounds and mysteries of the law he was exceeded by none"" Marvin 83-84.
