Sir Francis Bacon, statesman, essayist and philosopher, studied law
and rose to high office as Lord Chancellor. He had enormous
influence on the change of direction for scientific method from
speculative and philosophical in the Aristotelian tradition to
experimental and factual. Bacon's philosophical influence extended
to Locke and through him to subsequent English schools of
psychology and ethics. Abroad, his influence also extended to
Leibniz, Huygens and Voltaire who called him 'le pere de la
philosophie experimentale'.
This edition contains all Bacon's philosophical works as well as
translations, plus literary and professional works, and includes
illuminating introductions and explanatory footnotes by the three
editors as well as a new introduction by Graham Rees.

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.
