This volume belongs to the new critical edition of the complete
works of Francis Bacon (1561-1626). The edition presents the works
in broadly chronological order and in accordance with the
principles of modern textual scholarship. This volume contains
Bacon's earliest known writings, dating from 1584 to 1596,
comprising position papers, commentaries on printed works, legal
readings and opinions, and discourses of advice, usually written in
response to specific events or demands, and circulated in
manuscript. Bacon's writings to 1596 generally reflect his
professional occupations: legal, political, and parliamentary. They
include substantial writings on the Martin Marprelate controversy
of 1588-1589, Roman Catholic attacks on Elizabeth's government
(1593); dramatic entertainments put on at Gray's Inn and the court;
tracts on important legal cases of the period; notes from his
extensive reading; and letters of advice written for and to Bacon's
patron, Robert Devereux, second earl of Essex. Despite the
'occasional' nature of these writings, there is clearly visible
across them the early signs - 'seeds' as their author would call
them-of the philosophy Francis Bacon would later come to write. The
writings are presented with substantial introductions, and full
commentaries and glossaries
