Woodcut headpiece and printer's ornaments on title and "Of the Colours" section title woodcut initials. 220 pp. Collation: A-F8 G8 -G78 H-O8. Small 8vo. Huth-Pirie Copy of the 1612 Jaggard Printing of Bacon's Essayes. The second Jaggard edition of the Essayes of statesman and philosopher Francis Bacon 1561-1626. Jaggard used his 1606 edition of the Essayes which contained the original 10 essays of the first edition as a model for this 1612 printing. When a new edition by Beale expanded from 10 to 38 essays appeared in 1612 Jaggard canceled the final two leaves G78 and expanded the work to include the full compliment of essays.<br/>Jaggard made no entry of this or his 1606 and 1613 editions of the Essayes in the Stationers' Register and so it has been customary to regard his editions as piracies. Jackson gently disputes this notion in the note to Pforzheimer 29 suggesting that a later transfer of rights to Jaggard's widow in 1624 as well as the silence of Hopper and Beale who did register their rights with the Stationers' Company argues for Jaggard having some right to the Essayes. "In some manner therefore Jaggard must have himself secured 'rights' which the Stationers' Company regarded as transferable even though not previously entered in the Register" Pforzheimer. In any case a rare edition: we trace only this copy at auction.<br/>The Essayes which went into numerous editions in the author's lifetime and eventually expanded from the 10 essays printed in the first edition to 58 in the 1625 edition treat moral and political topics in "a terse aphoristic style . which Bacon conceived as a genre setting down discrete observations on life and aspiring to some kind of objective validity" ODNB. "In an age of complicated and superficial verbiage Bacon turns the licence of imaginative and allusive expression into an instrument of accurate and chastened thought" Cambridge History of English and American Literature. The Essayes were originally circulated in manuscript among Bacon's friends - the threat of a pirated edition by Richard Seeger lead to Bacon entrusting the work to Humfrey Hooper for publication in 1597.<br/>A fine copy with exceptional provenance.
