“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.

An extremely rare Elzevier printing of Bacon’s “Sermones Fideles”. “Sermones Fideles” is the title of the work as a whole, but it contains four other works that come from ‘The Essays’. Bacon discusses politics, economics, ethics, crime, law, and science all through the lens of philosophy. This work was translated from his ‘Essays’ which was printed earlier in English.
