Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'their excellence and their value consisted in being the observations of a strong mind operating upon life; and in consequence you find what you seldom find in other books.' Samuel Johnson Celebrated today as a writer and scientist, Francis Bacon was for the most part of his life occupied with the law and public affairs at a high level. Although personally devastating, his fall from public office in 1621 nonetheless served to liberate him for his own work and the last five years ofhis life saw an enormous output in the most varied fields. It is to this period that we owe the last and most popular work published in his lifetime, the Essays or Counsels, Civil and Moral (1625) Focusing on the ethical, political and historical constraints and influences on human behaviour andfollowing principles laid down by rhetorical theory, Bacon sought to systematize his observations on such diverse topics as beauty, deformity, fortune, adversity, ambition, friendship, truth, marriage, atheism and superstition. Persuasive and diagnostic, his Essays are valued for many reasons, notleast their combination of a dispassionate observation of human life with powerfully expressed moral judgements. This edition is based on the Oxford Authors series complete with notes on Bacon's rich vocabulary and substantial annotation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essays (1625) is a collection of writings by Francis Bacon, one of England’s most prominent philosophers and scientists whose work was central to shaping the ideals of the Renaissance and scientific revolution. Although Bacon is remembered today as the father of modern science, this collection contains his thoughts on mostly moral and civil matters, highlighting his immense skill as a philosopher and statesman. Filled with references to and quotes from such biblical and classical sources as Seneca, Epicurus, Solomon, David, and Caesar—to name only a few—Bacon grounds his work in the rich continuum of human history, religion, and philosophy. In “Of Death,” he compares the human fear of death to a child’s fear of the dark to argue that it is an essential and natural aspect of human life. In “Of Revenge,” Bacon weighs the consequences of vindictiveness against the merciful necessity of forgiveness. In “Of Goodness and Goodness of Nature,” Bacon differentiates between the innate goodness of humanity and the glaring need for the cultivation of goodness as a habit in human society. These are only some of the subjects Bacon approaches with his hallmark rational and concise style. Others include the relationship between parents and children, the nature of superstition, and the need to privilege utility over style in homebuilding. Overall, The Essays is both a wide-ranging meditation on daily and eternal matters of human existence and a fascinating look at the particulars of life in Renaissance England. Completed only a year before his death, The Essays is one of Francis Bacon’s most accessible works, as well as a fitting culmination of a life and career dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. This text illuminates for us the thoughts and feelings of one of history’s finest intellectuals, a man whose ideas continue to shape our world and the way we see it over four centuries later. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Essays by Francis Bacon is a classic of English literature and philosophy reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: Essays of Francis Bacon by Francis Bacon ry persecutions to force consciences; except it be in cases of overt scandal, blasphemy, or intermixture of practice against the state; much less to nourish seditions; to authorize conspiracies and rebellions; to put the sword into the people's hands; and the like; tending to the subversion of all government, which is the ordinance of God. For this is but to dash the first table against the second; and so to consider men as Christians, as we forget that they are men. Lucretius the poet, when he beheld the act of Agamemnon, that could endure the sacrificing of his own daughter, exclaimed: Tantum Religio potuit suadere malorum. What would he have said, if he had known of the massacre in France, or the powder treason of England? He would have been seven times more Epicure, and atheist, than he was. For as the temporal sword is to be drawn with great circumspection in cases of religion; so it is a thing monstrous to put it into the hands of the common people. Let that be left unto the Anabaptists, and othe

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essays; Civil and Moral of Francis Bacon This edition of the Essays was undertaken by me at the suggestion of Mr. J. R. Thursfield, who had put together materials for notes on the first twenty-three Essays, but was unable, in the stress of other literary engagements, to carry out his design. Mr. Thursfield's name is sufficient warrant for what the completed edition would have been in his hands. His design, as I under stand it, was to prepare an edition for the use of scholars and advanced students, and especially to show from contemporary translations the sense in which doubtful passages had been understood in Bacon's own day. These points I have kept in mind. But the line followed in Mr. Thursfield's manuscript notes was not in many ways the same as that which I have taken. He entered much more fully than I have done into the history and derivation of words, and into grammatical and philological disquisitions. This is a line of research for which I have no taste, and which I could not have pursued with any pleasure. It has, moreover, been rendered practically superfluous by the publication of the 'english Dictionary.' This was not and could not have been anticipated by Mr. Thursfield when he began collecting materials for his notes.

This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essays or Counsels Civil and Moral: large print By Francis Bacon Francis Bacon first published ten Essayes in 1597 on aspects of public life such as 'Honour and Reputation', 'Ceremonies' and 'Studies', with a second edition of 38 essays appearing in 1612. The final set of 58 essays (1625) explores wide-ranging facets of civil life - 'Custom and Education', 'Marriage and Single Life', 'Empire', 'Unity in Religion'. But it also tackles the ways in which private individuals are affected by 'Beauty', 'Deformity', 'Envy', 'Riches' and desire for 'Revenge'. Like the French essayist, Michel de Montaigne, Bacon explores each topic from several different angles rather than defending a single idea.
