Excerpt from The Works of Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Alban, and Lord High Chancellor of England, Vol. 4: Containing Novum Organum Scientiarum, Vol. I
To render this preparation still more complete and perfect, the next thing is to raise the mind from the languor and torpi dity it may contract from the apparent miraculous nature of the thing. And as this wrong disposition of the mind cannot be rectified without the discovery of causes, the work proceeds toomark out all the impediments which have hitherto perversely retarded and blocked the way of true philosophy and thus makes it appear no wonder at all, that mankind should have been so long entangled and perplexed with errors.

Sir Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St Alban KC, son of Nicholas Bacon by his second wife Anne (Cooke) Bacon, was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist, and author. He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. Although his political career ended in disgrace, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific revolution. Bacon was knighted in 1603, created Baron Verulam in 1618, and Viscount St Alban in 1621.
There are some scholars who believe that Bacon's vision for a Utopian New World in North America was laid out in his novel The New Atlantis, which depicts a mythical island, Bensalem, in the Pacific Ocean west of Peru. He envisioned a land where there would be greater rights for women, the abolishing of slavery, elimination of debtors' prisons, separation of church and state, and freedom of religious and political expression. Francis Bacon played a leading role in creating the British colonies, especially in Virginia, the Carolinas, and Newfoundland.
Thomas Jefferson considered Francis Bacon to be one of the three greatest men who ever lived, "Bacon, Locke and Newton" were "the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception." Francis Bacon's influence can also be seen on a variety of religious and spiritual authors, and on groups that have utilized his writings in their own belief systems.
