Large paper copy on thick paper of the second edition of Bacon's history of Henry VII. Bacon had promised the work to James I while on trial and he quickly completed the work following his impeachment for taking bribes. "It should be seen in the context of humanist historiography rather than as a precursor of its modern methods. Bacon was keenly interested in the conventional topics of virtue and fortune but was unconventional in placing a much stronger emphasis on fortune than virtue. The central lesson of The History of Henry VII was that a ruler must remain open to accident and ready to seize the opportunities it offered" ODNB. ESTC S122252; Gibson 116b.

The philosophical exposition of the experimental method in science which greatly influenced the creation and development of the first scientific academiesâ€”the "Invisible College" the Royal Society and the AcadÃ©mie Royale des Sciences with inestimable effect on the development of scientific thought. At a time when scholars still relied on classical authority and metaphysical speculation to learn about the world they lived in Bacon conceived a new means of acquiring true knowledge of the world via observation experiment and inductive reasoning the type of logical thinking that ascends from specific facts to the establishment of general laws and principles. Bacon saw this novum organum or "new instrument" as the means of bringing about a "great revolution" instauratio magna in thought. Once taught the new experimental method everyone would be capable of engaging in scientific investigation unlocking the secrets of nature and applying the results ideally for the betterment of humankind. Bacon's vision of science inspired the subsequent foundation of the first scientific academies and also opened up the question of science's relationship with government and society. Bacon originally envisioned the Instauratio magna in six parts of which only two were completed: De augmentis scientiarum 1623 and Novum organum which along with the introduction to the third part Parasceve ad historiam naturalem et experimentalem and two sets of Aphorisms makes up the present work.

Instauratio magna Novum organum

16202116London: John Bill 1620. First edition. contemporary calf. Very Good. FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE: FRANCIS BACON'S ARGUMENT FOR AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. A BEAUTIFUL COPY. "The writings of Lord Bacon and especially the "Novum Organum" possess a fourfold interest: They have a direct bearing upon the history of philosophy literature logic and physical science; and whatever estimate we may form of their influence upon each of these branches of knowledge we think that few will fail to admit that Bacon threw a bridge over that vast and deep gulf which separates the ancient from the modern modes of thought and directly opened a way to our present philosophy and science" G.F. Rodwell Bacon's Novum Organum. Bacon "insisted on experiment in determining truth in nature and the above book is a proposed method for the assessment of all knowledge. The accumulation of observation and fact must be the basis of a new philosophy and not the authority of Aristotle or anyone else. Bacon's inspiration led directly to the formation of the Royal Society. The famous engraved title-page showing a ship boldly sailing beyond the Pillars of Hercules the limits of the old world is interpreted to represent the bold spirit of adventure and research of the new age of science" Dibner 80.    "Bacon conceived a massive plan for the reorganization of scientific method an gave purposeful thought to the relation of science to public and social life. His pronouncement 'I have taken all knowledge to be my province' is the motto of his work. The frontispiece to his magnum opus shows a ship in full sail passing through the Pillars of Hercules from the old to the new world. It symbolizes the vision of its author whose ambitious proposal was: 'a total reconstruction of sciences arts and all human knowledge. to extend the power and dominion of the human race. over the universe'" Printing and the Mind of Man 119.   Second issue as usual with "Billium" only omitting Bill Norton in colophon and added errata. Complete with the famous engraved title by Simon van de Passe. London: John Bill 1620. Folio 292x190 mm contemporary full calf rebacked with original spine laid-down; custom box.
