“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”

― Francis Bacon

 

Francis Bacon, one of the most famous English philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance. While most of his work deals with discovery, scientific method, and the scientific revolution, he did lean strongly toward Puritanism in his personal devotion.

Francisci Baconi … opera omnia, quae extant, Philosophica, moralia, politica, historica … in quibus complures alii tractatus, quos brevitatis causa praetermittere visum est, comprehensi sunt, hactenus nunquam conjunctim edita, jam vero summo studio collecta, uno volumine comprehensa, [et] ab innumeris mendis repurgata: cum indice rerum ac verborum iniversali absolutissimo. His praefixa est auctoris vita.
