John of London: A Romance of the Days of Roger Bacon is a historical novel written by Gibney Somerville and published in 1887. The story is set in the 13th century and follows the life of John, a young man living in London who dreams of becoming a great scholar like his hero, Roger Bacon. John's journey takes him from the bustling streets of London to the halls of Oxford University, where he meets Bacon and becomes his apprentice. Along the way, John falls in love with a beautiful woman named Isabella, but their relationship is threatened by political turmoil and religious conflict. As John navigates the challenges of his personal and professional life, he must also confront the larger issues of his time, including the struggle between science and faith. John of London is a captivating tale of love, ambition, and intellectual curiosity set against the backdrop of medieval England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
