He was born into the family of Sir Nicholas Bacon, keeper of the Privy Seal to Queen Elizabeth. The boy early won the favor of the Queen. He went to Cambridge at twelve and after graduating at sixteen,took up law. He soon became one of the most successful lawyers of the time. At twenty-three he became a member of the House of Commons and his judgment and eloquence made him famous. When James I came to England, Bacon obtained one important office after another until he became Lord Chancellor . He was an admirable judge，but in the course of rising he had made enemies who charged him with bribery. He was convicted , deprived of his office, fined and banished from London in 1621. Five years later, he died in disgrace . Francis Bacon as a lawyer, statesman, philosopher, is famous not only for his philosophical works, but also for his essays. In 1597 he published a collection of ten essays, which were afterwards increased to fifty-eight. These essays cover a wide variety of subjects， such as love， truth， friendship， parents and children， beauty， studies， youth and age and many others. They have won popularity for clearness, brevity and force of expression. Many of his sentences have become wise old sayings—“Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark” ，“Reading makes a full man； conference a ready man， and writing an exact man”. 译者介绍 在今日中国知识分子当中，最具争议及传奇性的人物非何新莫属。自从80年代以来，何新的文化研究，经济和国际问题研究，他所首先倡导的一些基本观念，已汇为思潮，深刻地影响了当代中国的文化和社会发展。受到支持者和反对者的广泛注意。人们可以不赞同他，但是不可能不重视他。 何新的学术在80—90年代中国政治与文化这一巨大转变时代留下了深深的思想印迹。由于何新的特殊影响，他一度成为海内外各主要新闻机构追逐采访的对
