Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the English philosopher, statesman and
jurist, is best known for developing the empiricist method which
forms the basis of modern science. Bacon's writings concentrated on
philosophy and judicial reform. His most significant work is the
Instauratio Magna comprising two parts - The Advancement of
Learning and the Novum Organum. The first part is noteworthy as the
first major philosophical work published in English (1605). James
Spedding (1808-81) and his co-editors arranged this fourteen-volume
edition, published in London between 1857 and 1874, not in
chronological order but by subject matter, so that different
volumes would appeal to different audiences. The material is
divided into three parts: philosophy and general literature; legal
works; and letters, speeches and tracts relating to politics.
Volume 4, published in 1858, contains the English translation of
Bacon's philosophical works that formed part of the Instauratio
Magna.
