About this book
Francis Bacon's plan for a new way of studying nature survives only in fragments, printed here with a preface by Robert Leslie Ellis. Chapters present in part or whole include the limits and end of knowledge, the obstacles that arise from splitting knowledge into separate sciences, and an inventory of existing inventions. An epitome summarises chapters twelve to twenty-six. The names Valerius Terminus and Hermes Stella are Bacon's devices for author and commentator. The fragments were first printed in 1734.
