The first pocket edition of Sir Francis Bacon's major philosophical work the Novum Organum ('a new Organon' â" a scathing attack on Aristotle's logical works collected under that title), bound with his Historia Naturalis. Together the works form the second and third parts of Bacon's ambitious plan to reform the nature of philosophical and scientific enquiry. In Bacon's own words, the Instauratio Magna was to be 'no more but a new logic, teaching to invent and judge by induction, (as finding syllogism incompetent for sciences of nature), and thereby to make philosophy and sciences both more true and more active' (Letter to King James, Bacon 1874, pp119â"20). This ambition to bridge the old and new worlds is symbolised in the famous engraved title-page by Simon van der Passe showing a sailing ship passing through the Pillars of Hercules: 'Multi pertransibunt et augebitur scientia' ('Many will pass through and knowledge will be the greater'). With excellent provenance for the Anglican clergyman social reformer and novelist Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), best-known for his association with Christian socialism and the founding of working men's colleges. Two works bound in 1 vol.; 12mo (13.5 x 8.5 cm); each with engraved title, woodcut initials, head and tailpieces, armorial bookplate to front pastedown, contemporary MS notes in pen to front free endpapers, occasional light spotting and toning; contemporary vellum, yapp edges, MS title to spine, a little soiled and warped, very good; [24], 404, [4];[16], 232, [16]pp. Provenance: Charles Kingsley, Eversley Rectory (bookplate and MS note).

Zustand: Very Good. London: Printed by W. Stansby for Matthew Lownes, and William Barret, 1622. Mixed Edition per Gibson, published the same year as the first.

This copy with all seven errata, or "Faults Escaped," from page 248 uncorrected. Many of Gibson's additional errors corrected, of which he notes, "There is. no certain means of determining their priority." A Very Good and sound copy often found lacking the frontis portrait. Considered Bacon's most substantial work of history, his biography of Henry the Seventh was composed following his public and professional disgrace in 1621 culminating in twenty-three charges of corruption and spending a few days in the Tower. This history was written in part to pacify James I by providing him with a "flattering portrait of his ancestor," though it also successfully conveyed an accurate depiction of "the man [and] the real business of his reign. Every history which has been written since has derived all its light from this" (DNB, Vol. 1, p. 823). Gibson 116A and 116B. …
