Excerpt from The Works of Francis Bacon, Vol. 2: Baron of Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, and Lord High Chancellor of England

The history of these translation has been already told; but as it is somewhat complicated, and appears in some points not to be clearly understood, it may be convenient that I should repeat it here.

The works to be translated were selected by Mr. Ellis, and were meant to include everything which is requisite to give an English reader a complete view of Bacon's philosophy. The selection does, in fact, include all the Latin works belonging to the first and second parts, and as many of those belonging to the third ask are not to be found in a more perfect form in the others.
