Product Information

Excerpt from The Columbus of Literature: Or Bacon's New World of Sciences This work follows close upon the heels of Mrs. Henry Pott's re markable work, Francis Bacon and His Secret Society. I venture to cherish the hope, some of the chapters in this work of mine, may throw further light upon her theories, and prove a humble corollary to her book. The arrangement of my chapters, it must be confessed, are somewhat erratic, but t without design and method. The first chapter is intended to point out the fact, that there are Rosicrucian affinities and parallels in The Tempest, showing the author of the plays was well acquainted with the Utopian literature, which finds its re ection in the New Atlantis. In the fact, Bacon corresponded with the martyr, Father Fulgentio, we obtain a powerful hint as to his sympathies with the Reformation, and a proof he was secretly in communication with a wide move ment abroad, which could at that period only be furthered by means of a secret society or brotherhood. I am in hopes my tes upon the water-marks in some of Bacon's works may throw a further light upon Mrs. Pott's plates in her learned work.
