Note From The Author
I feel happy and proud that an arrangement with Messrs. Ticknor and Fields to reprint The Personal History of Lord Bacon gives me the opportunity of pleading before the American public for the good fame of one who, dear as he is to the Old World, has an especial claim on the sympathies of the New.
W. Hepworth Dixom
