Excerpt from Exemplum Tractatus De Fontibus Juris, and Other Latin Pieces of Lord Bacon This review forms a prominent part of those writings which he intended as the First Part of the Instauration; namely, his Advancement of Learning, and his enlarged treatise on the same subject, written in Latin, De Augmentis Scientiarum.
