Excerpt from A Conference of Pleasure: Composed for Some Festive Occasion About the Year 1592 In the supplement to a volume of "Letters of the Lord Chancellor Bacon," published in 1734, and commonly referred to as "Stephens's second collection, several of his smaller pieces, both political and philosophical, appeared in print for the first time: among the rest, two of the most remarkable of his early compositions - namely, "Mr. Bacon's discourse in prayse of his Soveraigne" and "Mr. Bacon in prayse of knowledge;" - of which the history and true character has been hitherto doubtful. My own conjecture was that they both formed part of some fanciful device presented at the Court of Elizabeth in 1592; and accordingly, in the last edition of Bacon's works, the arrangement of which was suggested by myself, I reserved them for their place among what I call his "occasional" writings of that year, and introduced them with some explanatory remarks which will form the most convenient introduction to what follows.
