THE WOMS OF LORD BACON, | 



WITH A MEMOIR, AND A TRANSLATION > 

 "OF HIS LATIN WRITINGS, i 



BY BASIL MONTAGU, ESQ. \ 



In Three Volumes, Octavo. ] 



The American edition of the %vorks of: 

 Lord Bacon, now offered to the public, is : 

 reprinted from the most approved Eng-lish ; 

 edition, that of Basil Montagu, Esq., which : 

 has recently issued from the celebrated 

 press of Pickering, (the modern Aldus.) in 

 seventeen octavo volumes. It contains the 

 complete works of the illustrious philoso- 

 pher, those in Latin being translated into 

 English. In order to render the publica- 

 tion cheap, and therefore attainable by all 

 our public and social libraries, as well as 

 by those general readers who study econo- 

 my, the seventeen octavo volumes have 

 been comprised in three volumes, imperial 

 octavo. Being printed from the most accu- 

 rate as well as complete English edition, 

 and carefully revised, the American edition 

 will possess greater advantages for the cri- 

 tical scholar as well as the general reader. 

 In typography, paper and binding, it will 

 be recognized as a brilliant specimen of! 

 the products of the American book trade. 



"AVe may safely afhrm, that, by giving 

 the Inductive Philosophy to tlie world, 

 Lord Bacon has proved one of its most sig- 

 nal benefactors, and has largely done his 

 part towards promoting the final triumph 

 of all truth, wiiether natural, or moral and 

 intellectual, over all error ; and towards 

 bringing on that glorious crisis, destined, 

 we doubt not, one day to arrive, when, ac- 

 cording to the allegorical representation of ^ 

 that great poet, who was not only the Ad- 

 mirer of Bacon, but in some respects his 

 kindred genius — Truth, though ' hewn like 

 the mangled body of Osiris, inta a thousand 

 pieces, and scattered to the four winds, 

 shall be gathered limb to limb, and mould- 

 ed, with every joint and member, into an 

 immortal feature of loveliness and perfec- 

 tion.' '' 



"AVe are more gratified than we can 

 find words to express, to find a publishing 

 house in this country, putting forth a pub- 

 lication like the Complete Works of Lord 

 Bacon, in a form at once compact, elegant 

 and economical."— Jjroi/'ier Jonathayi.

The object of the publishers in thus re- 

 ducing the price of the AVaveriey Novels, 

 is to endeavor to give them a greatly ex- 

 tended circulation, and they have, there- 

 fore, put them at a price which brings them 

 within the reach of every family in the 

 country. There is noiu no fireside that 

 need be without a set of the most charming 

 works of fiction ever issued from the press : 

 tor there is no one that can't afford two 

 dollars and a half— TWO DOLLARS 

 AND A HAI<F for twenty-fi-ve of Sir Wai- 

 ter Scott's Novels ! ten cents for a com- 

 plete Novel 1 ! ten cents for " Ivanhoe," 

 which was originally published at a guinea 

 and a half! ! ! It seems impossible, and yet 

 it is true. In no other way can the same 

 amount of amusement and instruction be 

 obtained for ten times the money, for the 

 Waverley Novels alone form a Library. 



The publishers wish it to be distinctly 

 understood, that, while the price is so great- 

 ly reduced the work is in no way abridged, 



but is CAREFULLY PRINTED FROM, AND CON- 

 TAINS EVERY WORD IN THE LAST EDINBURGH 



Edition, in forty-eight volumes, which sells 

 for seventy-two dollars. 



Now is the time to buy V Such an oppor- 

 tunity may never again'occur. Let every 

 one, then, who wants the Waverley Novels 

 /dr two dollars and a half., now purchase^ fot 

 if the publishers do not find the sale greatly 

 increased, by the imm.ense reducticrr in 

 price, they will resume the old price of 

 twenty-five cents for each Novel, which
