  • Sir Francis Bacon warned his benefactor Essex against the treasonable course he was pursuing and, when Essex persisted and was brought to trial, played a brilliant part in his prosecution. Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St Alban (22 January 1561 - 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, and essayist. He is also known as a proponent of the scientific revolution. Indeed, according to John Aubrey, his dedication may have brought him into a rare historical group of scientists who were killed by their own experiments. ©TopFoto Colour Book Illustration UnitedArchives1125648
