Excerpt from Sir Thomas Meautys, Secretary to Lord Bacon, and His Friends After the death of Bacon in 1626, the further fortunes of Meautys will not present so much interest to the general public, for he died before the revival of the drama in England. Had he attained the allotted span, he might perhaps, in the changed atmosphere of the Restoration, have thrown light on some of the problems which perplex the world to-day, for it is almost impossible to suppose that he was not in possession of the fullest information on all that Bacon did and wrote.
