Mary Pott:
Francis Bacon and his secret society
„It
is certain that, although much is known about Francis Bacon in some parts or
phases of his chequered life, yet there is a great deal more which is
obscure, or very inadequately treated by his biographers.“
“For instance, what was he doing or where was he travelling during certain
unchronicled years? Why do we hear so little in modern books of that beloved
brother Anthony, who was his ‘comfort,’ and his ‘second self’? And
where was Anthony when he died? Where was he buried? And why are no
particulars of his eventful life, his last illness, death, or burial
recorded in ordinary books?”
Francis Bacon (1561–1626): philosopher, playwright, poet, and conceiver of
the scientific method for empirical inquiry. The staggering amount of
publications in which he was involved and his demand for a worldwide
reformation of learning, science, and religion have made him one of the most
important minds of the Elizabethan era.
As much as Bacon’s public life influenced the world of science, there is
an equal part of his life obscured by his secrecy. This book sets out to
delve into these secrets in order to uncover the full extent of Bacon’s
work. His self-devised secret cipher, his apparent connections to the
Rosicrucians and Freemasons, and the frequent gaps in his biography are
thoroughly examined, making this a valuable addition to any Baconian
collection.
