Sinossi
This seminal philosophical treatise, originally penned in 1605 and considered the first major philosophical work written in English, also offers the first description of science as a tool to improve the human condition. This breakthrough work of the English Renaissance hailed new times and new possibilities for the human species. Bacon catalogues the current state of learning, the obstacles to its progress, and his own plans for its revitalisation. This facsimile makes available a work that has significantly defined the modern era. The Advancement of Learning was the personal property of Charles I and contains the King's own additions to many of bacon's bried pithy sayings. The initialled'Dum spiro spero' in this book is considered to be a forgery

Hardback. A famous copy of a famous book, this was the personal property of Charles I and contains the King's own additions to many of Bacon's pithy sayings. A typical example: in the King's spidery hand reads "Natural Wit, destitute of Learning, is but lyke unpolished Marble". The "Dum spiro spero" with the King's initials on the first leaf in this book is an obvious forgery. Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, was philosopher, statesman and essayist and he propounded the inductive method of reasoning. Handsome blue buckram binding. Oversize; Postage & Packing may cost extra. Codice articolo 32963
