conscriptum ab Iltustri viro Francisco Eacone, de Verulamio, etc. Cum Prae/a* 

 tione W. Rawley. Of this edition Tennison says, &quot;This fable of the New 

 Atlantis in the Latin edition of it, and in the Frankfort collection, goeth under 

 the false and absurd title of Novus Atlas : as if his lordship had alluded to a 

 person, or a mountain, and not to a great island, which according to Plato 

 perished in the ocean.&quot; 



It was translated into Latin by Rawley, and published by him in folio, in the 

 year 1638, in his volume containing many other tracts. The following is the 

 title : Nova Atlantis Fragmentorum alterum. Per Franciscum Baconum, 

 Baronem de Verulamio, Vice-Comitem S. Albani. Londini, Typis loh. Havi- 

 land. Prostant ad Insignia Regia in Cosmeterio D. Pauli, apud locosam Norton 

 et Richardum Whitakentm, 1638. 



There are some works connected with the New Atlantis which ought to be 

 noticed. In the year 1660 a work was published, of which the following is the 

 title : New Atlantis begun by the Lord Verulam, Viscount St. Albans : and con 

 tinued by R. H. Esquire. Wherein is set forth a Platform of Monarchial Go 

 vernment, with a pleasant intermixture of divers rare Inventions, and wholsom 

 Customs, Jit to be introduced into all Kingdoms, States, and Common-Wealths. 

 Nunquam Libertas gratior extat quam sub Rege pio. London, printed for John 

 Crooke, at the Signe of the Ship in St. Paul s Church Yard, 1660. 



Of this work Tennison says, &quot; This Supplement has been lately made by 

 another hand : * a great and hardy adventure, to finish a piece after the Lord 

 Verulam s pencil.&quot; 



In the year 1676 a work was published, of which the following is the title- 

 page : Essays on several important Subjects in Philosophy and Religion. By 

 Joseph Glanvill, Chaplain in Ordinary to His Majesty, and Fellow of the R. S. 

 Imprimatur, Martii 27, 1675, Thomas Tomkins. London, printed by J. D. for. 

 John Baker, at the Three Pidgeons, and Henry Mortlock, at the Phoenix, in&quot; St. 

 Paul s Church Yard, 1676. 



The last essay in this volume is thus entitled : Anti-fanatical Religion and 

 Free Philosophy, in a continuation of the New Atlantis, Essay VII. And the 

 title opens thus, Essay VII. The Samme of my Lord Bacon s New Atlantis.

After he had passed the circle of the liberal arts, his father thought fit to 

 frame and mould him for the arts of state ; and for that end sent him over into 

 France, with Sir Amyas Paulet, then employed Ambassadour Lieger into 

 France ; by whom he was, after a while, held fit to be entrusted with some 

 message or advertisement to the Queen ; which having performed with great 

 approbation, he returned back into France again, with intention to continue 

 for some years there. Rawley. 



That he was sent to France when he was sixteen appears from the following 

 fact. Sir Amias Paulet was sent ambassador to France in September, 1576. 

 He was succeeded by Sir Edward Stafford, in December, 1578. 



Extract from a letter, dated June 22, 1577. &quot; One year is already spent 

 since my departure from you, and yet one year more, and then I will begin to 

 hearken for a successor.&quot; To Mr. Nicholas Wadham. 



In a letter to the lord keeper, dated September, 1577 : &quot; This quiet time doth 

 give me no occasion to trouble your lordship with long letters ; only I must tell 

 you, that I rejoice much to see that your son, my companion, hath, by the grace 

 of God, passed the brunt and peril of this journey : whereof I am the more 

 glad, because, in the beginning of these last troubles, it pleased your lordship to 

 refer his continuance with me to my consideration. I thank God these dangers 

 are past, and your son is safe, sound, and in good health, and worthy of your 

 fatherly favour. And thus, &c. (a)
