Book II. Novum ORGANUM. The first edition of this work was published in folio, in
1620, when Lord Bacon was Chancellor. Editions in
12mo. were published in Holland in 1645, 1650, and 1660.
An edition was published in 1779; “Wirceburgi, Apud
Jo. Jac. Stahel: and an edition was published at Oxford
in 1813. No assistance to this, or, as I am aware, to any
part of Lord Bacon's works, has been rendered by the
University of Cambridge.
