| BACON, FRANCIS (1561-1626), Historie of Life and Death. With Observations Naturall and Experimentall for the Prolonging of Life. London: Printed by I. Okes, for Humphrey Mosley, 1638 [actually 1637]. [10]+323+[1]pp. 12mo. Early, possibly contemporary, drab boards, rebacked with marbled paper in the 19th century, and with several front and rear blank leaves added, which seem to have been used to keep several accounts, one of which appears to be of books bought and the amounts paid for them. Signed (on an added rear blank) by Ann Lackington. One of the books listed "Playfairs Acct Scotland" (19 shillings) almost certainly refers to James Playfair's A Geographical and Statistical Description of Scotland, published in 1819. Lacking A1 (the imprimatur leaf) and the engraved title-page. A fair amount of scoring in a kind of rust crayon and occasional ink scoring (possibly by Ann Lackington). A few minor marginal page tears, otherwise a good copy. Uncommon. Text printed within a single border. The first edition in English in an unauthorized translation. The second of Bacon's proposed six natural histories, which were intended to illustrate the new way of investigating nature that he had described in Novum Organum. Bacon's new way was inductive and empirical -- in short what we today call scientific method. Of these illustrative books, Bacon did finish two: Historia ventorum (1622) and Historia vitae et mortis (1623), while the third, the unfinished Historia densi et rari was published posthumously by his secretary William Rawley in 1658. Gibson 153; STC 1157. 6.0 ounces = 170 grams. 5.8 x 3.2 x 1.0 inches = 14.5 x 8 x 2.5cm. A pirated translation (translator unknown) that appeared several months before Rawley's authorized translation. "The work is an elaborate collection of data on factors governing durability in things animate and inanimate, and mortality in living ones. Like the Historia ventorum, the proto-statistical Historia vitae had a powerful effect on the character of seventeenth-century 'natural-historical' Baconianism, as evidenced, for example, in the work of John Graunt and William Petty on the bills of mortality and the development of 'political arithmetick'. And again, like the Historia densi et rari, the Historia vitae exhibits great faith in the efficacy of quantitative data in natural philosophy, a faith with which Bacon has seldom been credited by many of his critics" [pages 41-42 of Graham Rees's article on Bacon in The Dictionary of Seventeenth-Century British Philosophers, ed. by Andrew Pyle, Volume 1].
