Hence, the eighteen new Essays of this, the last edition he published, and the new editions to the earlier'Essays contained therein, constitute the actually new work which Bacon gave to the world in 1625, a year before his death. And these Essays shall claim our chief attention, containing, as they do, the nucleus of all that Francis Bacon wa...
