The Tragedy of Anne Boleyn: A Drama in Cipher Found in the Works of Sir Francis Bacon (Classic Reprint)

The publication of the second edition of theB i-literal Cypher ofF rancis Bacon, which embraced the jeriod of his Cipher writing between 1590 and the end of his career, emphasized the importance of finding the earlier writings preceding 1590. The old books necessary to the research conld not be procured in A merica, and during the summer of 1900 Mrs. Gallup and her assistant, Miss Kate E. Wells, visited England to carry on the work in that treasure house of early literature, theB ritish Museum. ,T he investigations yielded rich returns, for inS hepheard st Calender of 1579 was found the commencement of what proved to be an important part of Bacon slife work. Following Shepheard sC alender, the works between 1579 and 1590, so far deciphered, are: A raygnement of Paris, 1584; Mirrour of Modestie, 1584. Planetomachia, 1585. Treatise of Melancholy, 1586. Two editions of this were issued the same year, with differing I talics. The first ends with an incomplete cipher word which is completed in the second for the continued narration, thus making evident which was first published, unless they were published at the same time. Euphues, 1587; Morando, 1587. These two also join together, with an incomplete word at the end of the first finding its completion in the commencement of the Cipher in the second. Perimedes theB lacke-smith, 1588; Pandosto, 1588. These two also join together.
