AMONG the many great names which England hoasts
of, few have such claims to her gratitude as that of
FRANCIS BACON. For besides the unparalleled ser-
vices which science received from him, to his original
genius we may indirectly ascribe many, if not most,
of those large improvements in the arts of life which
have raised this nation to the highest place among the
countries of the world.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life of Sir Edward Coke, a brilliant, yet often tempestuous legal mind of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Born into a wealthy family, he quickly distinguished himself in the legal profession, becoming Solicitor General in 1592 and Attorney General in 1594. Coke also served as Lord Chief Justice of both the Common Pleas and the King�s Bench and was the last person in English history to hold both of these offices. As one of the most famous lawyers of his time, he was closely involved with many of the trials that came to define the era, from the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 to the case of Peacham in 1615. The book tells the story of Coke's meteoric rise and ultimate fall in a comprehensive and detailed manner. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781451004588_0
