In between Stephen s first Bacon edition in 1702 and his later 1734 edition (re-issued in 1736 edition) the four volumes of The Works of Francis Bacon edited by John Blackbourne appeared in 1730. Born in 1683 John Blackbourne (1683-1741) was educated at Bacon s former college Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated BA in 1701 and MA in 1705. He then moved to Little Britain in the City of London where he lived almost lost to the world and hid amongst old books[He] lived a very exemplary, good life, and studied hard, endeavoring to be useful to mankind, both as a scholar and divine. To keep himself independent, he became corrector of the press to Mr. Bowyer, printer, and was, indeed, one of the most accurate of any that ever took upon him that laborious employ.'
