Mortal Moon

Excerpt from The Mortal Moon: Or Bacon and His Masks The relational facts and circumstances connected with the life of Lord Bacon will be here found collated and marshalled beyond the cloud, and so that the reader shall himself say. Bacon stands in new light. Here he may likewise find short steps to the heart of the Baconian philosophy. The several masks under which Lord Bacon performed his great hitherto undisclosed work will be brought into relation with his generally attributed writings, and be found to be, not merely in harmony with, but to be their principles expanded in detail; and thus, after a suspension of upward of two hundred and fifty years, their restored relations. Having reached our conclusions with care, we hesitate not in making a claim which we feel that time and close investigation must ripen into belief. We indeed here open a door to methods which must erelong surprise the world. And the matter, coming through the highest mortal reaches, and, according to design, largely upon the wings of romance, must make it ever permanent with the race. As to the setting of the ants, the race, anew at work Bacon himself says: And certainly I have raised up here a little heap of dust, and stored under it a great many grains of sciences and arts, into which the ants may creep and rest for awhile and then prepare themselves for fresh labors.
