A quite spectacular and totally untouched example of this great work.<br/><br/>"Bacon conceived a massive plan for the reorganization of scientific method and gave purposeful thought to the relation of science to public and social life. 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.

He was styled as Lord Clifton until 1831 when he succeeded his father as 5th Earl of Darnley. He was Lord Lieutenant of Co. Meath from 1831 until his death in 1835.
