http://www.infopt.demon.co.uk/baconfra.htm

Extractions: While Renaissance men were rapidly expanding all the frontiers of knowledge—in geography, philosophy, medicine and astronomy—Sir Francis Bacon was devising a deductive system for empirical research which has earned him the title "the Father of Modern Science." Most scientists today still owe him a debt of gratitude. They repay this debt by giving his capsule biography in almost every text for high-school or college-level courses in most branches of science. But they carefully avoid mentioning that he was gay. Bacon did not marry until the late age of forty-eight, and contemporary figures relate that he was by preference homosexual. John Aubrey in his Brief Lives says quite bluntly that Bacon "was a pederast" and had "ganimeds and favourites" ("pederast" in Renaissance diction meant generally "homosexual" rather than specifically a lover of minors; "ganimed" of course derives from the mythical prince abducted by Zeus to be his cup-bearer and bed-warmer.) The Puritan moralist Sir Simonds D'Ewes (Bacon's fellow Member of Parliament) in his Autobiography and Correspondence discusses Bacon's love for his Welsh serving-men, in particular a "very effeminate-faced youth" whom he calls "his catamite and bed-fellow" ("catamite" is a corruption of "Ganymede"). The diary entry for 3 May 1621—the date of Bacon's censure by Parliament—reveals the full extent of Bacon's homosexuality, and is worth quoting extensively if only because it has been suppressed in the only printed edition of the D'Ewes's autobiography (not published until 1845), and has been studiously ignored by most of Bacon's modern biographers:

Literature Francis Bacon was born on January 22nd, 1561 in London, England the son of the Keeper of the Great Seal for Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Nicholas Bacon, and his second wife. When he was twelve years old, Francis began Trinity College, Cambridge. He stayed from 1573 until 1575, leaving without a degree. After his father's death, Bacon studied law at Gray's Inn until 1582, when he became a barrister. Two years later, at the age of twenty-three, he was elected to Parliament. In 1597, Bacon published Essays Colours of Good and Evil , and Meditationes Sacrae . After Queen Elizabeth I's death and the ascension of James I in 1603, Bacon began his political career in earnest. He was knighted in 1603 and several honors followed: Solicitor General in 1604, Attorney General in 1613, Lord Chancellor in 1618, Baron Verulam in 1618, and Viscount St. Albans in 1621. Appointed to a succession of posts, Bacon was finally given the title of Keeper of the Great Seal, like his father before him. In 1620, Bacon published

Extractions: OR TRUE DIRECTIONS CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION OF NATURE Francis Bacon [Note on the Text] AUTHOR'S PREFACE Anticipation of the Mind , the other Interpretation of Nature APHORISMS [BOOK ONE] I Man, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or in thought of the course of nature. Beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything. II Neither the naked hand nor the understanding left to itself can effect much. It is by instruments and helps that the work is done, which are as much wanted for the understanding as for the hand. And as the instruments of the hand either give motion or guide it, so the instruments of the mind supply either suggestions for the understanding or cautions. III Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule. IV Toward the effecting of works, all that man can do is to put together or put asunder natural bodies. The rest is done by nature working within.

Extractions: The Secret Bard "Truth can never be reached by just listening to the voice of an authority." Francis Bacon "But when I searched, I found no work so meritorious as the discovery and development of the arts and inventions that tend to civilise the life of man." Francis Bacon "That extra-ordinary genius, when it was impossible to write a history of what was known, wrote one of what it was necessary to learn." on Bacon E lizabethan England was anything but a free society. Like Continental Europe at the time, the authority of the Monarchies and the Church was undisputed. Sovereigns held the power of life or death over their subjects. Authorities encouraged informers - spies - to hand in heretics and political radicals, who were then tortured into confessions before their executions. England was split over religion, and its coming renaissance was but a flicker in the minds of a tiny learned elite. In the midst of this unstable background, Elizabeth 1 came to the throne in 1558. By the time Charles I succeeded to the Throne in 1625, English language had been transformed, and English commerce and trade led the world. America was being colonised, and foundations had been laid for a revolution in political thought and science. W.T. Smedley, a Bacon biographer, states:

Extractions: British engineer who developed the first practical hydrogen - oxygen fuel cells, which convert air and fuel directly into electricity through electrochemical processes. In 1932, the inventions by engineer Francis Bacon resulted in the first successful fuel cell devices. He improved on the expensive platinum catalysts employed by Mond and Langer with a hydrogen-oxygen cell using a less corrosive alkaline electrolyte and inexpensive nickel electrodes. In 1959, a quarter of a century later, Bacon and his coworkers were able to demonstrate a practical five-kilowatt system capable of powering a welding machine. Francis Thomas Bacon was born at Ramsden Hall, Billericay, Essex, UK, on 21 December 1904, as a direct descendant of Sir Francis Bacon. He was educated at Eton College 1918-1922, specialising in science and winning the Moseley Physics Prize in 1922 and at Trinity College, Cambridge obtaining a third class in the Mechanical Sciences Tripos in 1925. Francis Thomas Bacon began experimenting with alkali electrolytes in the late 1930s, settling on potassium hydroxide (KOH) instead of using the acid electrolytes known since Grove's early discoveries. KOH performed as well as acid electrolytes and was not as corrosive to the electrodes. Bacon's cell also used porous "gas-diffusion electrodes" rather than solid electrodes as Grove had used. Gas-diffusion electrodes increased the surface area in which the reaction between the electrode, the electrolyte and the fuel occurs. Also, Bacon used pressurized gases to keep the electrolyte from "flooding" the tiny pores in the electrodes. Over the course of the following twenty years, Bacon made enough progress with the alkali cell to present large scale demonstrations.

Extractions: On Lord Francis Bacon, 1625 Introductory Note Dominus Verulamius [Footnote 1: Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam.] One, though he be excellent and the chief, is not to be imitated alone; for never no imitator ever grew up to his author; likeness is always on this side truth. Yet there happened in my time one noble speaker who was full of gravity in his speaking; his language, where he could spare or pass by a jest, was nobly censorious. No man ever spake more neatly, more presly, more weightily, or suffered less emptiness, less idleness, in what he uttered. No member of his speech but consisted of his own graces. His hearers could not cough, or look aside from him, without loss. He commanded where he spoke, and had his judges angry and pleased at his devotion. No man had their affections more in his power. The fear of every man that heard him was lest he should make an end. [Footnote 1: Severe.] [Footnote 2: Concisely.] [Footnote 3: Choice, disposal.]

Extractions: Francis Bacons God Stephen A. McKnight Editors Note: With this issue, we are pleased to offer the first in our series of Reconsiderations, essays that reexamine great thinkers and great works at the intersection of science, technology, ethics, and politics. It is only fitting that we should launch this series with an analysis of Francis Bacons New Atlantis, the story that gave our journal its name and that helped give birth to the age of modern science and technology. n 1968 Howard B. White published Peace among the Willows This essay contends that it is a misunderstanding and distortion to view Bacons use of religious language and concepts as disingenuous and manipulative. It demonstrates that Bacons program of utopian reform, as presented in New Atlantis, is grounded in genuinely and deeply felt religious convictions, which serve as the foundation for his program of political and social prosperity through the advancement of learning. Developing the evidence to support a position that stands in marked contrast to prevailing interpretations requires careful attention to the details of Bacons utopian narrative. We need to examine each episode of the story, from the storm that brings European sailors to Bensalem, through the Europeans interviews with the Governor of the Strangers House and with Joabin, to the climactic audience with a Father of Solomons House. We need to pay careful attention to the accounts of Bensalems conversion to Christianity and to the early history of Bensalem, Atlantis, and other great sea-going civilizations. While only one of these, the conversion to Christianity, is explicitly religious, examination of the other episodes demonstrates Bacons pervasive use of two key religious themes:
