Francis Bacon (1561-1626) the English philosopher. His immortal Essays were published in 1597, and in the same year appeared On the Colors of Good and Evil. The two books of The Advancement of Learning appeared in 1605; and in 1620 the Novum Organum, written, like very many of Bacon’s works, in Latin. The Novum Organum is an essay toward the science of a better use of reason in the investigation of things.” His histories of Henry VII., of Henry VIII., and of Elizabeth, are of unequalled value and authority; the first is eminently faithful and trustworthy; the other two are probably biased by the author’s desire to stand well at court. His New Atlantis is one of the world’s greatest Utopian speculations.Cicero, Marcus Tullius is the author of 'Friendship' with ISBN 9781589639850 and ISBN 1589639855.
