Media Reviews
Excellent....Certain to replace the Modern Library collection...as the standard anthology....Vickers has gone far beyond the call the normal compilatory duty for such a volume....This exemplary one-volume Bacon has to be judge a 'must' for academic libraries; highly recommended for larger public
libraries. --Choice
This is an ideal book for independent readers to acquaint themselves with Bacon, wise, and, in its terms, complete. --Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900
