The Mystery of Francis Bacon is a book written by William T. Smedley that delves into the life and works of the renowned philosopher, statesman, and essayist Francis Bacon. The book explores the many mysteries surrounding Bacon's life, including his alleged involvement in the Rosicrucian and Freemason societies, his rumored authorship of William Shakespeare's plays, and his possible secret identity as the true author of the King James Bible. Smedley draws from a variety of sources, including Bacon's own writings, historical records, and contemporary accounts, to piece together a comprehensive and fascinating portrait of this enigmatic figure. The book is an intriguing exploration of one of the most fascinating figures of the Renaissance era and is sure to captivate anyone interested in history, philosophy, or the mysteries of the past.Contents: Sources of Information; Stock from which Bacon Came; Francis Bacon, 1560-1572; At Cambridge; Early Compositions; Bacon's �������Temporis Partus Maximus�������; Bacon's First Allegorical Romance; Bacon in France, 1576-1579; Bacon's Suit on His Return to England, 1580; �������Rare and Unaccustomed Suit�������; Bacon's Second Visit to the Continent and After; Is it probable that Bacon left Manuscripts Hidden Away?; How the Elizabethan Literature was Produced; Clue to the Mystery of Bacon's Life; Burghley and Bacon; 1623 Folio Edition of Shakespeare's Plays; Authorized Version of the Bible, 1611; How Bacon Marked Books with the Publication of Which He was Connected; Bacon and Emblemata; Shakespeare's Sonnets; Bacon's Library; Two German Opinions on Shakespeare and Bacon; Testimony of Bacon's Contemporaries; Missing Fourth Part of �������The Great Instauration�������; The Philosophy of Bacon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
