Excerpt from Four Centuries After: Or How I Discovered EuropeAlas! Bacon is dead, and is thus unfitted to defend himself against his constantly accumulating fame. A feeling of justice toward a man thus handicapped led me to adopt a style in this volume unlike that which we find in his (Bacon's) classical writings, put forth over the pseudonym of "Billy Shakespeare, " and his other justly famous works, entitled "Robinson Crusoe, " "Pilgrim's Progress, " "The Holy War, " etc. Notwithstanding the care I have exercised in ferreting out a unique style, I still feel apprehensive that some retrospective critic may sit down, on perusing this book, and write a much thicker one in which he will set forth proof that this is but another piece of Bacon's handiwork.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
