The Essays was the first published book by the philosopher, statesman and jurist Francis Bacon. They are written in a wide range of styles, from the plain and unadorned to the epigrammatic. They cover topics drawn from both public and private life, and in each case the essays cover their topics systematically from a number of different angles, weighing one argument against another.
