Modern Editions, 



In 1629, three years after the death of Lord Bacon, an edition was published 

 by Haviland, by whom the edition of 1625 was published. It is the same as 

 the edition of 1625, except that the table of contents in 1629 is arranged alpha 

 betically ; and the Colours of Good and Evil are annexed. Another edition 

 was published in 1632 by Haviland, and another in 1639 by Beale. Since 

 that time the press has abounded with editions.
