Excerpt from A Baconian Summary Two stars kee not their motion in one 8 here. P I Hen. IV. Iv. 65. IN this little book the writer aims at the accomplishment of two objects: (i) to collect and present to his readers, in orderly arrangement, the evidences in favour of the Baconian belief which appear to his mind the most powerful, and (2) to secure a satisfactory character for these evidences, by quoting only from the best and safest authorities, and, as far as possible, from Shaksperians. He is fully conscious that to many his theme must be unpopular, disturbing not only rooted beliefs, but cherished affections. If, however, he can satisfactorily demonstrate that this is a problem rightfully demanding investigation - one which now occupies such a position upon the list of problems awaiting elucidation, that, in the nature of scientific progress, it must be dealt with and determined in the near future, and one which will become more and more fascinating the more fully the light of enquiry bears upon it - if he can do so much, and he hopes and believes that he can, he thinks that he may fairly claim the interest and attention of all classes of readers.
