Essays (Francis Bacon)
]
''Essayes: Religious Meditations. Places of Perswasion and Disswasion. Seene and Allowed'' (1597) was the first published book by the philosopher, statesman and jurist Francis Bacon. The ''Essays'' are written in a wide range of styles, from the plain and unadorned to the epigrammatic. They cover topics drawn from both public and private life, and in each case the essays cover their topics systematically from a number of different angles, weighing one argument against another. A much-enlarged second edition appeared in 1612 with 38 essays. Another, under the title ''Essayes or Counsels, Civill and Morall'', was published in 1625 with 58 essays. Translations into French and Italian appeared during Bacon's lifetime.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Catalogue entry )〕
== Critical reception ==
Though Bacon considered the ''Essays'' "but as recreation of my other studies", he was given high praise by his contemporaries, even to the point of crediting him with having invented the essay form. Later researches made clear the extent of Bacon's borrowings from the works of Montaigne, Aristotle and other writers, but the ''Essays'' have nevertheless remained in the highest repute. The 19th century literary historian Henry Hallam wrote that "They are deeper and more discriminating than any earlier, or almost any later, work in the English language".
