Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1858, Vol. 40 What we have indicated as alone expedient to be introduced into an abridged version of the Opus Majus, would furnish the contents for a volume suitable to be included in Bohn's series, and would form an attractive and instructive addition to his collection. If such an addition were published by him, or by any other member of the worshipful fraternity of bibl iopoles, it might compel the editors and indiscriminate eulogists of Lord Bacon to take cognizance of his obligations to earlier philosophers, and especially to his namesake, whom he so rarely and grudgingly mentions; or, if this duty were still neglected, as has hitherto been usual, it would invite and enable others to investigate the relations and agreements of these homolo gone and homonymous philosophers, and discover the extent to which the younger reformer was indebted to his precursor, and the degree of criminality attending the concealment of this indebtedness. To expedite such a consummation, we propose to give here some of the principal results derived from our own examination.
