Synopsis
Bacon's Essays, With Annotations By R. Whately by Francis Bacon is a 19th-century annotated edition of Francis Bacon’s Essays, edited by Richard Whately. The volume presents Bacon’s concise moral and practical maxims on truth, death, unity in religion, revenge, and adversity, enriched by Whately’s extensive notes, cross references, and pro/con antitheses that illuminate classical, biblical, and contemporary authorities. Prefaces explain the aims of the edition, defend the use of annotations and quotations, and argue for making Bacon accessible through obsolete-language glosses and illustrative extracts. The collection extends through Essays XVII–L and beyond, including essays on ambition, travel, counsel, delays, cunning, wisdom, innovations, dispatch, and more, each accompanied by annotations that tie moral reflections to history, statecraft, and education. Core themes emphasize the sovereign importance of truth, the moral meaning of death, religious liberty anchored in reason, forgiveness over vengeance, virtue under adversity, and prudent, disciplined governance.
