New. $39.95 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 collections of maxims on English law it is remarkable for its stylistic vigor intellectual rigor meticulousness and clarity. 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." One of the great intellectuals of his era Bacon 1561-1626 held the posts of Solicitor General Attorney General and Lord Chancellor during the reign of James I. unknown books

This is an interesting collection of the miscellaneous scientific writings and experiments of Francis Bacon 1561-1626 appended with his utopian work “A New Atlantis.†The book first appeared the year after his death edited and published by William Rawley but went through a number of editions reflecting the popularity of his writings. While Bacon would be well educated in his early years as the youngest son in his family he would be left without land money or position upon his father’s death in 1579. However thanks to his tremendous intellect and political skills he would have a very successful political and intellectual career and would prosper under James I. Among his many accomplishments would be obtaining the post of attorney general but bribery charges would bar him from ever holding public office again. He would publish a good deal in his later years and legend suggests that his intellectual curiosity would eventually cost him his life when he caught chill after experimenting with the impact of cold temperatures on decaying meat. More recently it has been suggested that his death was caused by “inhaling remedial substances†in an effort to improve his health. ODNB. STC 1173. William Lee, books
