222 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES from which all we can gather is that Rawley would have very much liked to say more, but did not dare to do so. In vol. xiv. p. 524 however, Mr. Spedding, in speaking of this passage added by Rawley, says : In a book published in France about the end of the last (i8th) century, a passage on this subject is quoted as if from Rawley, about which there must certainly be some mistake. The book is entitled " Le Christianisme de Francois Bacon, Chancelier d'Angleterre, ou Pense"es de ce grand homme sur la Religion. A Paris, an. VII." The passage in question occurs in a note, vol. i.p. 174. "Voici les termes de Rawley, qui etoit un des legataires de Bacon. Neque est quod ullam ei post remotionem familiaris rei tenuitatem* objicere velit constat enim : post hanc nihil quicquam horum quae ad status magnificentiam fecissent t defuisse, sed ita nihilominus vixisse, ut Jovi ipsi de felicitate controversiam facere velle visus fuerit, virtutis omnis, pietatis, humanitatis, patientiae imprimis, exemplum maxime honorabile."} 1 do not know where this passage is to be found. Didn't he indeed know where to look for those words of Rawley' s f Well then, as the editor of a complete edition of all Bacon's works he does indeed expose his ignorance in a manner fatal to his reputation, for he might easily have found them ! In 1665, the first real " Complete edition of Francis Bacon's Works" in Latin (1324 Folio columns) appeared in Frankfort on the Main (not in London, not in England). In 1694, the second, still completer edition of the "Opera Omnia"(i584 Folio columns) appeared in Leipzig (not in England this time either, nor in London). Mr. Spedding never as much as looked at either of those two important editions ! He does not even know what is on the first pages of those two books. " For my name and memory, I leave it to foreign nations." In accordance with those words in the Last Will, Rawley * " Quis " is left out here. The passage was not even copied correctly. f Here "illi" is omitted. Oh, oh, Mr. Copyist 1 The commas are also mostly wanting. J Should be " memorabile " !
APPENDIX TO CHAPTER I 223 had the first part of his revised and completed biography of Bacon printed in Holland, the other part in Germany, not in England. The second part, the conclusion, appears never to have been printed in England, and is not known to the English. What Mr. Spedding discovered in a French book is nothing else than the two final sentences of the " Vita Francisci Baconi " as it was printed in Frankfort and Leipzig in the seventeenth century. But it does not constitute the most important part of the conclusion of the German editions. For that is printed between the end of the Dutch-English edition and the words quoted in the French book. They are the sentences that justify Bacon's doings and defend him against his English opponents. Here is the real conclusion to the "Vita Francisci offers us Baconi," of which the edition of Mr. Spedding but a meagre fragment, and even that has been tampered with : (1) The final sentence of the Dutch edition (which Mr. Spedding knew of, and yet omitted from his "Complete edition ") : Quamvis autem Corpus quod deposuit, Mortale fuerit, Libri tamen ejus & Memoria baud dubie perennes erunt, neque prius fatis cessuri, quam Orbis terrarum machina dissolvatur. (2) The sentences in the two German editions (fully unknown to Mr. Spedding) : Fuere quidem, qui nomini tanti Herois variis obtrectationibus notam inurere tentare sed frustra conati sunt. Licet enim a Rege & Parlamenti Consilio officiis suis remotus fuerit, id alia, nisi Invidia procurante, causa factum non est, ipso seraet illo scripturae dicto consolante : Nihil est Novi ! Quin hoc ipso eadem ilium fortuna rnansit, quae Ciceronem apud Octavianum, Callisthenem apud Alexandrum, Senecam apud Neronem, quos vel relegates, vel occisos, vel Leonibus objectos historiae prodiderunt. Quicquid illorum sit, cum tanti Viri supra omnem fortunam sint & plerumque Dominos sera ejusmodi factorum maneat poenitentia, novimus etiam Jacobum effatum fuisse, negotio aliquando difficili & intricate se offerente : Utinam Baconus, meus olim Cancellarius, mlbi superesset, quam facile hinc me expedire vellem.
