The Major Works by Francis Bacon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Francis Bacon was fantastically learned, wise, shrewd, and an epigrammatic master. Not only so, but he was plainly a conscientious and sincere Christian, one who knew the Scriptures well, and who applied them ably and often. Not surprisingly, he is often falsely accused.
It is said that he died of pneumonia contracted by doing experiments with snow in the hope of freezing chicken. As some wag pointed out, this proves that chicken keeps better than bacon.
