His pronouncement ‘I have taken all knowledge to by my province' is the motto of his work.His 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'. The plan for this was to be set out in six parts" Printing and the Mind of Man 119 describing the 1620 Instauratio Magna or Novum Organum. <br/><br/>Of the Advancement and Proficience of Learning is the first complete English edition of the first part of Bacon's plan "a complete survey of human knowledge and learning which was expounded in the De Augmentis Scientiarum 1623 a greatly extended version of The Advancement of Learning 1605" Printing and the Mind of Man. <br/><br/>Francis Bacon 1561-1626 1st Viscount St Alban Kt PC QC also known as Lord Verulam was an English philosopher statesman scientist orator and writer who is considered one of the fathers of modern science. The scientific classification bacon sets forth in this work changed the way we look at the world serving as a basis for Denis Diderot's renowned eighteenth-century encyclopedia of the sciences arts and crafts. His written works continue to be extremely influential especially regarding the philosophy and practice of the scientific method. Of the translator Gilbert Watts Wood says that he had so smooth a pen in Latin or English that no man of his time exceeded him" D.N.B.<br/><br/>Gilbert Watts d. 1657 "translated Bacon's ‘De Augmentis Scientiarum' and his rendering called ‘Of the Advancement and Proficience of Learning of the Partitions of Sciences'. was of highly praised on its appearance" D.N.B. <br/><br/>Perhaps belonging to Edward Bligh Lord Clifton.

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

The first contains a set of twenty-five maxims or regulae.

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. Among America's Founding Fathers Jefferson held Bacon in high esteem. 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."
