It is earnestly recommended that the student secure and read a copy of the New Atlantis. This will serve to give him some comprehensive idea of the great brain of Sir Francis Bacon.

It is contained in a pocket edition of Bacon's Works, George Newnes, London, 1902.

The possession and use of a reading glass is indispensable for this purpose. All of our facsimile photographs may be compared with the original first folio at any of our large libraries.
