DE AUGMENTIS. CCCCV 



Iii the first part there are scarcely any alterations, except 

 the omission of his beautiful praise of Elizabeth, not, per 

 haps, very acceptable to her successor (a) The material 

 alterations are in the analysis of Natural History and 

 Natural Philosophy ; in his expansion of a small portion 

 of the science of &quot; Justitia Universalis ;&quot; in that part of 

 human philosophy under the head of Government, which 

 relates to man as a member of society ; and in his arrange 

 ment of the important subject of revealed religion, (b) 



In the annexed outline of the work the parts marked 

 in italics will exhibit the material alterations : 



division into chapters : the De Augmentis is divided into nine books, and 

 each book is subdivided into chapters. 



(a.) See note (rf), preceding page. 



(b) The treatise &quot; De Augmentis,&quot; being more extensive, abounds with 

 passages that are not contained in &quot; The Advancement.&quot; I will take one 

 specimen from each subject into which the work is divided, viz. from 

 History, relating to the Memory ; Poetry, relating to the Imagination ; and 

 Philosophy, relating to the Understanding. 



In the treatise De Augmentis, Natural History is divided 



i 



Of Nature in course. 



1. As to the subject. { 2. Of Nature erring. 



Of Arts. 



A . ., Si- Narrative, 



2. A* to the we.. ^ Inductive. 



But the division, as to the use, &c. is not contained in the Advancement. 



Under Poetry, the fable of Pan, of Perseus, &c. which are not in the 

 Advancement will be found in the treatise De Augmentis. Under Philo 

 sophy, speaking on the advancement of universal justice, or the laws of 

 laws, he says, &quot; I propose, if God give me leave, having begun a work of 

 this nature in aphorisms, to propound it hereafter, noting it in the mean 

 time for deficient.&quot; In the treatise De Augmentis considerable progress 

 is made in this projected work, in forty-seven distinct axioms. 



In Archbishop Tenison s Baconiana, the progress of this work, and the 

 difference between the De Augmentis and the Advancement is explained.
