Bacon, was See also:born on the 26th of See also:June 18o8, in Cumber-See also:land, the younger son of a See also:country See also:squire. He was educated at See also:Bury St See also:Edmunds and Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, where he took a second class in the classical tripos, and was junior optime in See also:mathematics in 1831. In 1835 he entered the colonial See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but he resigned this See also:post in 1841. In 1842 he was secretary to See also:Lord See also:Ashburton on his See also:American See also:mission, and in 1855 he became secretary to the See also:Civil Service See also:Commission; but from 1841 on-wards he was constantly occupied in his researches into Bacon's See also:life and See also:philosophy. On the 1st of See also:March 1881 he was knocked down by a See also:cab in See also:London, and on the 9th he died of See also:erysipelas. His See also:great edition of Bacon was begun in 1847 in collaboration with R. E. See also:Ellis and D. D. See also:Heath. In 1853 Ellis had to leave the See also:work to Spedding, with the occasional assistance of Heath, who edited most of the legal writings. The Works were published in 1857–1859 in seven volumes, followed by the Life and Letters (1861–1874). Taken together these works contain practically all the material which exists in connexion with the subject, collected and weighed with the utmost care and impartiality. Spedding humorously emphasized his devotion to Bacon in the See also:title of one of his non-Baconian works, Reviews and Discussions, See also:Literary, See also:Political and See also:Historical, not See also:relating to Bacon (1879); and his literary remains outside that one See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.
