1662 Francis Bacon Natural History & Philosophy Scientific Experiments WIND

"Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."

― Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, one of the most famous English philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance. While most of his work deals with discovery, scientific method, and the scientific revolution, he did lean strongly toward Puritanism in his personal devotion.

A rare 1662 Elzevier printing of Bacon's "Historia Naturalis," or 'Natural History.' In this work, Francis Bacon sought to show the divisions of natural history, but more importantly to show how natural history overlaps with natural philosophy and they are not two distinct disciplines. This book helped lay the foundation for many philosophical methodologies that would be important through the 18th- and 19th-centuries.
