Francis Bacon: History, Politics and Science, 1561-1626 by Brian Harvey Goodwin
Francis Bacon by Brian Harvey Goodwin Wormald. Mr. Wormald shows that Bacon was concerned equally with the knowledge of the world of nature and with that of policy. The junction between the two enterprises was effected by his work in history; and in the end it was Bacon's conception and practice of history that provided the answer to his efforts to advance policy and natural philosophy.
