The Essays (Penguin Classics)
Francis Bacon

Penguin Classics, 1986

The Renaissance Socrates
It's useless to dig for just one or two epigrams to stand in for the totality of Bacon's penetrating genius in the "Essays." Though it is perhaps fashionable today to detract from him in order to praise Montaigne, it should be clear that Bacon is at least as ...

The Advancement of Learning (Modern Library Science)
Francis Bacon

Modern Library, 2001

While he didn't exactly invent science, Francis Bacon is its best-known early promoter. The Advancement of Learning is his 1605 argument in favor of natural philosophy and inductive reasoning, and it is still vigorous and cogent today. Though using the language of Shakespeare, the book remains largely accessible to modern readers--still, a bit ...

Francis Bacon: The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics)
Francis Bacon

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

The Best Bacon in Paperback
I concur with Gulley Jimson about the number of unnecessarily annotated words. The space could have been put to better use: a larger topical index would have been welcome, and I sorely missed Bacon's own apophthegms. But I would emphasize the positive point Jimson ...

Three Early Modern Utopias: Thomas More: Utopia / Francis Bacon: New Atlantis / Henry Neville: The Isle of ...
Thomas More, Francis Bacon, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

Prose which still affects our thinking
Literature before James Joyce, before Jane Austen, before Daniel Defoe: No Ulysses, no Emma, no Robinson Crusoe - for modern readers it is hard to imagine a stock of English literature without the existence of these and other important writers and their `novels'. ...
  
  











  



  
Francis Bacon: The New Organon (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)
Francis Bacon

Cambridge University Press, 2000

Best publication of Bacon's New Organon
I had to write a research paper on Francis Bacon's The New Organon for my History of Ideas VI class and this book was the definitive source for that paper. The introduction by Lisa Jardine is stellar. There is so much invaluable content and critical commentary in her ...
  
  











  



  
Francis Bacon: Novum Organum - With Other Parts of The Great Instauration (Volume 3, Paul Carus Student ...
Francis Bacon

Open Court Publishing Company, 1994

A gem!
Though somewhat obscure, this book should be more widely known and read. Very enlightening and well ahead of it's time. Terrific, readable translation. You'll never look at the world again in the same way!
  
  











  



  
The New Atlantis and The City of the Sun: Two Classic Utopias
Francis Bacon, Tomasso Campanella

Dover Publications, 2003

A Mystical Journey to America
This is Francis Bacon's model for America. Many believe it is the vision of the ancient spiritual adepts. Fascinating reading and most provoking.
  
  











  



  
"The Essays" of Francis Bacon

LeClue22 [Kindle], 2008

It was Sir Francis Bacon that first coined the term "knowledge is power". During his life time Sir Francis was considered to be one of the most intelligent men alive. This is one of the reason why he is often credited with writing the Shakespeare plays, as it was believed by many scholars that `only Francis Bacon could have been so cleaver.? ...

New Atlantis - Bacon
Francis Bacon

Book Jungle, 2007

New Atlantis
As I am a Rosicrucian this book I found it to be excellent. But... dont expect to be reading contemporary english, as it was written ages ago, but you will get used to it. You also need to review while reading the "notes" as it will explain a lot of stuff!
