This authoritative edition brings together an extensive collection of Bacon's writing--the major prose in full, together with sixteen other pieces not otherwise available--that reveals the essence of his work and thinking. Francis Bacon held some of the highest public offices in the land and in his spare time studied natural philosophy and a wide variety of other subjects.

This extensive anthology includes the major English literary works on which his reputation rests: the Advancement of Learning , the Essays (1625, as well as the earliest version of 1597), and the posthumously published Utopian fable the New Atlantis (1626).
