‎BACON Mr‎

‎Reporting on the causes conduct and aftermath of an 1814 duel in Washington D.C. in three autograph letters signed April 3 4 and 5 1814 to a friend Moses White the Postmaster of Rutland Massachusetts and perhaps a relative of the wounded duelist Francis B. White;‎

‎Each of the letters is franked "free" but we have been unable to discover an official position for the letter writer possibly former Massachusetts Congressman Ezekiel Bacon serving in Washington as First Comptroller of the U.S. Treasury. The first letter recounts a misunderstanding between White and Lt. Twiggs a fellow junior military officer leading to a duel in which White took a ball in the hip and endured its surgical removal; the following two letters report on his recovery visiting friends and public sentiment which seems to have favored him. To the third letter Francis White has himself appended a one-page signed autograph note reassuring Mooses. He recovered from this wound but was not so lucky in a second duel. Although neither Lorenzo Sabine Notes on Duels and Duelling Boston 1855 nor Ben Truman Field of Honor New York 1884 record this 1814 duel both cover White's 1819 confrontation with Lt. William Fonch whom he challenged for "indignities suffered on board the Independence in 1815" and at whose hand he died. Manuscript material relating to American duels is quite uncommon on the market. The three letters have been folded as for mailing; lightly browned some breaks at seals. <br/><br/> unknown books‎

A quite spectacular and totally untouched example of this great work.<br/><br/>"Bacon conceived a massive plan for the reorganization of scientific method and gave purposeful thought to the relation of science to public and social life. His pronouncement ‘I have taken all knowledge to by my province' is the motto of his work.His ambitious proposal was: ‘a total reconstruction of sciences arts and all human knowledge.to extend the power and dominion of the human race.over the universe'.

The scientific classification bacon sets forth in this work changed the way we look at the world serving as a basis for Denis Diderot's renowned eighteenth-century encyclopedia of the sciences arts and crafts.

The Elements of the Common Laws of England is the general title for a work that is comprised of two different treatises: A Collection of Some Principall Rules and Maximes of the Common Lawes of England and The Use of the Law Provided for the Preservation of Our Persons Goods and Good Names. The first contains a set of twenty-five maxims or regulae one of the earliest if not first collection of maxims on English law. These maxims are remarkable for their stylistic vigor intellectual rigor meticulousness and clarity. The Regulae was intended to be the first part of De Regulis Juris a codification of English law that Bacon never completed.
