Excerpt from Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story, Vol. 5 In Book III of the Cipher Story, 'i took pleasure in acknowledging the aid Of my assistants in the preparation of that volume. Their work had then demonstrated that the cor rect use of the Cipher could be acquired by others. The present volume, Book V, is entirely their work, and until in print, I purposely refrained from reading or hearing read, any of this part Of Bacon's Story Of his Life in France. Miss Ollie E. Wheeler, extracted from the original Shakespeare Plays, from Bacon's acknowledged works, and those attributed to Marlowe, Greene, Peele, Spenser and Burton, the passages around the guides and numerous keys. Mrs. Elizabeth W. Gallup and Miss Kate E. Wells, have deciphered and woven these pas sages, by the rules Of the Cipher, into the poetic form in which they are presented. These ladies have also prepped the matter for Book VI which will complete the account of Bacon's Life in France, and be issued shortly. I congratulate my assistants upon their work, and the world, upon this unanswerable proof of the certainty Of the Cipher system.
