‎The essayes or counsels ciuill and morall of Francis Lo. Verulam Viscount St. Alban‎

‎London: Printed by Iohn Hauiland and are sold by R. Allot 1629. This 1629 edition contains all 58 essays. And is the First edition to contain The colors of good and evil. Bound in the original limp vellumlacking ties recently recased and a little rumpled but a very largeclean and unsophisticated copy of an early quarto edition. His long attempt to reform the intellectual habits of the European mind began with the publication of The Advancement of Learning in 1605 which attacked the unprofitable scholasticism that inhibited the growth of knowledge and the mental prejudices that helped to keep men in ignorance. Above all he deplored the poor and confused state of knowledge about the operations of the natural world. Novum Organum begun about 1608 published 1620 called for a systematic study of the natural world and of the causes of things and proposed the inductive method as the most reliable instruments of enquiry. Bacon worked out the principles of the experimental method in this book and developed them in De Augmentis 1623. Sylva Sylvarum a proposal of 1000 experiments to be undertaken was published posthumously in 1627 together with New Atlantis a Utopian fragment written about 1617 that urged the foundation of a college for scientific research. A short book that enjoyed much popularity in his lifetime was De Sapientia Veterum 1609 translated as The Wisdom of the Ancients 1619 which tried to demonstrate that the myths of the Greeks were coded accounts of their knowledge of the physical world.†Quoted from The Seventeenth Century by Graham Perry pages 264-265. “Bacon’s Essays the fruits of his political and social observations were first published in 1597 enlarged in 1612 and again in 1625. This 1629 edition contains all 58 essays. And is the First edition to contain The colors of good and evil and has divisional title page; register is continuous. Some copies may have been issued without this but the present copy has it.<br /> <br /> “Of Bacon’s literary as distinct from his philosophical and professional works far the most popular and important are the Essays they are the most original of all Bacon’s works those which in detail he seems to have thought out most completely for himself apart from books and collections of commonplaces. The last edition referring to that of 1625 the first to contain all fifty-eight essays teems indeed with quotations and illustrations but they are suggested by his own matter and do not suggest it. Though the Essays have the same title as the larger collection of Montaigne the two works have little in common except that rare power of exciting interest and the unmistakable mark of genius which is impressed on them both.†DNB<br /> <br /> STC 1149; Gibson 15 Pforzheimer 31.

‎The Essayes or Counsels Civill and Morall‎

‎London: John Haviland for Hanna Barret and Richard Whitaker. 1625. 4to. Twentieth-century crushed red morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe front turn-in signed in gilt ruled in gilt spine lettered directly in gilt and gilt-ruled in compartments raised bands edges gilt turn-ins richly gilt; pp. 9 1 blank 340; bound without blank leaf A1; A2-A4 a2 B-Z4 2A-2V4 2X2; hinges cracked but holding firm slight offsetting to endpapers; sporadic light spotting heavier to quires and 2K-2L uniform light toning small rust-mark to ff. O4-P2 with resultant hole to P2 touching two characters; else a handsome copy.Handsome first issue of the first complete edition of Bacon's Essayes enlarged 'both in Number and Weight . So that they are indeed a New Worke' the last edition of the work to appear in his lifetime.First published in 1597 as a modest octavo collection of ten texts Bacon's Essayes was successively enlarged and revised over nearly three decades. The present 1625 edition the twelfth overall is the first to contain the full complement of fifty-eight essays and represents the definitive form of one of the great monuments of English prose. This is the first issue with 'newly enlarged' on the title-page and Whitaker's name in the imprint. In addition to nineteen new essays this edition presents a completely revised version of the whole collection. Earlier essays were carefully reworked: phrasing was refined illustrative material drawn from his reading introduced and arguments expanded by the addition of sentences or whole sections. Several pieces were entirely recast in a more formal and structured manner while others retain or deliberately recover the spare and aphoristic character of the earliest essays. The work thus displays a deliberate variety of form reflecting both the evolution of Bacon's thought and his sustained experimentation with the genre.Across its successive versions the Essayes reveal an increasing preoccupation with civil life and public affairs shaped by changing political circumstances as well as by Bacon's own career as lawyer courtier statesman philosopher and moralist. Several of the new essays address matters of immediate relevance to the reign of James I including economic policy in 'Of Usury' and colonial enterprise in 'Of Plantations' while 'Of Revenge' reflects contemporary concern with duelling. Elsewhere existing essays are enlarged in ways that sharpen their political application: 'Of the true Greatness of Kingdoms and Estates' expands its consideration of military strength; 'Of Nobility' develops its treatment of the relationship between aristocracy and crown; and 'Of Empire' gains a substantial new section examining the prince's dealings with the various estates of the realm and the dangers attendant upon a failure of prudent governance.Bacon himself took a close interest in the production of the volume intervening in the printing process to make stop-press corrections. The 1625 edition 'is the text most commonly reprinted today. For this reason it ranks in importance with the first of 1597' Pforzheimer.Hanna Barret was seemingly the widow of William Barret; she 'published several works - notably the productions of Montaigne Bishop Hall Sandys and Bacon - between the years 1608 and 1624. Hanna Barret either retired from business or died in 1625 for we do not after that date meet with any examples of her publications' Shakesperiana V 1888 p. 479.Provenance: Thomas Burdett Money-Coutts 7th Baron Latymer 1901-1987 his sale Sotheby's 15 December 1988 lot 1 with loosely inserted catalogue cutting.ESTC S124226; Gibson 13; for the second issue see Pforzheimer 30 and Gibson 14. hardcover‎
