The Essays of Francis Bacon is a classic collection of works by the great English philosopher and writer Sir Francis Bacon.
Though Francis Bacon considered the Essays "but as recreation of my other studies", he was given high praise by his contemporaries, even to the point of crediting him with having invented the essay form. Later researches made clear the extent of Bacon's borrowings from the works of Montaigne, Aristotle and other writers, but the Essays have nevertheless remained in the highest repute.
