214 FRANCIS BACON out and track the footsteps of those choice young wits and pens of the new school, of the Temporis Partus Masculus, and Partis Secundo Dclineatio, of which Bacon thought and wrote so much, and to see what various aids these " young schollars " were able to afford for his great work? One line of work is clearly indicated: tbey were, under his own instructions, to collect materials for compiling "histories" on natural philosophy and on inventions in the mechanical arts — as we should now say, the applied sciences. One work is specified, as to its contents and nature. It is to be a "history of marvailes" with "all the popular errors detected." Such a book was published shortly after by- Bacon's death by a young Oxford man, of whom we shall and-by have occasion to speak. Another history is of " Mechanique;" it is to be compiled with care and diligence, and a school of science is to be established for the special study of the art of invention. " A college, furnished with all necessary scientific apparatus, workshops and materials for experiments. Not only so, but Bacon proposes to give pensions to four of his young men, in order that they might freely devote themselves to scientific or philosophic research. Some were also to have " allowances for travelling, " which proves that their field of research and for the gleaning of materials was not to be confined only to their own country, but " inquiries and correspondence with ye universities abroad" were to form an important element in the scheme. The works which were the product of this wise and liberal scheme of Bacou's will not be difficult of identification. They belong to the class of which the author said that they did not pretend to originality, but that they were flowers culled from every man's garden and tied together by a thread of his own. It is clear that the wits and pens of the " young schollars" (who, we learn from the Rosicrucian documents, were to be sixty -three in number) were chartered and secured under the seal of secresy. The last of the manifestoes in Mr. Waite's book contains this passage, in which few who have read much of Bacon will fail to recognise his sentiments, his intentions nay, his very words:
' AND HIS SECRET SOCIETY. 215 « I was twenty when this book was fi^d; Mwth^B I rasas SS5S£**s ssasai loved and honoured friends. This is the very sentiment which caused Bacon to contrive some method of handing down, hy means of those very friends, ZlZp of Tradition, which he could not legacy, hut which, "hefcvef forthcoming and hy whomsoever rubbed, brings up on the snot the spirit of the Lamp, Francis Bacon himself. Xs glance for a few minutes at « the order and discipline the rules and prescripts," which were instituted for the use of he Rosicnician Fraternity, or may we not safely say for the use S Bacon's « young schollars » and friends? The origma rales were fifty-two in number, but only the leading features of them TaTbe noted, numbers being placed against them for the sake of brevity in reference . rf various grades of initiation, apprentices, brethren, and an 1. The society was to consist of ^ty-toee m^be„ f " ^Tnesewlre all sworn to secresy for a period of one hundred years. \ T~ «.**** «,» "—Much v 5.
