"Many biographers have written about Francis Bacon. He has been weighed, explained, criticised by many types of minds; his character has been mercilessly dissected and his personality exposed to the passers-by on the world's butchers' stalls. He has been discussed by men of different tempers in full biographies, essays, sketches and newspaper articles, by men who make their approaches from totally different standpoints and arrive at totally different conclusions." - - Alfred Dodd, 1946

Mark Twain: Is Shakespeare Dead?
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer. He is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has since been called the Great American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations.
During his lifetime, he became a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists and European royalty enjoying immense public popularity, with his keen wit and incisive satire earning him praise from both critics and peers.
His only Baconian work Is Shakespeare Dead? has met with immense popularity.
“Born irreverent,” scrawled Mark Twain on a scratch pad, “like all other people I have ever known or heard of, I am hoping to remain so while there are any reverent irreverences left to make fun of.” - From a manuscript of Samuel L. Clemens, in the collection of the F. J. Meine.
Alfred Dodd
Alfred Dodd (1853-1940?) past Master of the Craft, author of The Secret Shakespeare, Immortal Master, The Marriage of Elizabeth Tudor, Shakespeare: Creator of Freemasonry, and Editor of Shake-speare's Sonnet-Diary.
Alfred Dodd having discovered the Secrets of the Sonnets, that was veiled in Allegory and illustrated by Symbol, considered it to be for the honour of the Fraternities, the Benefit of Humanity, and the Vindication of Genius, that the true Sonnet arrangement and interpretation should be made known to all the world.
"I was a Stratfordian until the autumn of 1929...until Francis Bacon revealed his personality to me in the Sonnets, thoroughly unexpectedly and to my utter consternation."
Elizabeth Wells Gallup
"In which sort of things it is the manner of men, first
to wonder that such 
thing should be possible, and after
it is found out, to wonder again how the world should miss
it so long." Valerius Terminus
"The discovery of the existence of the Bi-literal Cipher
of Francis Bacon, found embodied in his works, and the
deciphering of what it tells, has been a work arduous, exhausting
and prolonged." Unique in her mastery of this exhausting and prolonged task, Mrs. Gallup delved for things hidden, the mysterious, elusive and
unexpected, a fascination for many minds, as it had
for her own. She convinced that "the proofs are overwhelming and irresistible that Bacon
was the author of the delightful lines attributed to Spenser,
the fantastic conceits of Peele and Greene, the historical
romances of Marlowe, the immortal plays and
poems put forth in Shakespeare's name, as well as the
Anatomy of Melancholy of Burton.
Elizabeth Wells Gallup (1848-1934) was an American educator; studied at Michigan State Normal College, the Sorbonne and the University of Marburg. She taught in Michigan for almost twenty years and later became a high school principal.
She worked
for about twenty years, deciphering sixty-one books which
had been published between 1579 and 1671. Her work was largely sponsored by Colonel George Fabyan at his Riverside Laboratories in Geneva, Illinois.
A conlusion of her Baconian Creed, as that of Dalia Bacon, was that if Mrs. Gallup invented her story, she would surely have written of the Actor Shaksper; then her book would have been in every library in the world and she would have had not only honor and renown, but wealth. As it is, having told the truth as she found it, she has been ridiculed, is unknown except to a few, and has little of this world's goods.
Baconian Creed
The person named Will Shaksper existed. He was the actor; he was the man who married Hathaway; he was son to John Shaksper; he was a father to his children; he was the resident of Stratford.
He was not, definitely, without doubt, the author of the Shakespearean literature that entails the plays and sonnets sealed with the name Shake-Speare, with or without the hyphen.
That 99,99% of researchers, historian, biographers, scholars, students and plain old readers, intertwine two names to one individual, is a travesty to Shaksper’s memory and work as an actor of his time, and a dishonourable and intentional attempt, to bury the truth from William Shake-Speare’s paintings of the English language that came down to us through Francis Bacon's Quill.

Delia Bacon Salter
Chelsea, 8 June, 1853.
My Dear Madam,
Will you kindly dispense with the ceremony of being called on (by sickly people, in this hot weather), and come to us on Friday evening to tea at 7. I will try to secure Mr. Spedding at the same time; and we will deliberate what is to be done in your Shakspere affair. A river steamer will bring you within a gunshot of us. You pronounce Chainie Row and get out at Cadogan Pier, which is your fast landing place in Chelsea. Except Mrs. C. and the chance of Spedding, there will be nobody here.
Yours very sincerely,
T. Carlyle.
“My visit to Mr. Carlyle was very rich. I wish you could have heard him laugh. Once or twice I thought he would have taken the roof of the house off. At first they were perfectly stunned he and the gentleman [Spedding] he had invited to meet me.
“They turned black in the face at my presumption. “Do you mean to say,” so and so, said Mr. Carlyle, with his strong emphasis; and I said that I did; and they both looked at me with staring eyes, speechless for want of words in which to convey their sense of my audacity.
“At length Mr. Carlyle came down on me with such a volley. I did not mind it the least. I told him he did not know what was in the Plays if he said that, and no one could know who believed that that booby wrote them. It was then that he began to shriek. You could have heard him a mile. I told him too that I should not think of questioning his authority in such a case if it were not with me a matter of knowledge. I did not advance it as an opinion.
“They began to be a little moved with my coolness at length, and before the meeting was over they agreed to hold themselves in a state of readiness to receive what I had to say on the subject. I left my introductory statement with him. In the course of two or three days he wrote to me to ask permission to show my paper to Mr. Monckton Milnes, who had expressed a wish to see it, inviting me to come there again very soon. He told me I had left a beautiful handkerchief there, which Mrs. Carlyle would keep till I came. He also enclosed to me a letter of introduction to Mr. Collier, which he had taken the pains to obtain for me from another literary gentleman. I have not yet sent it. That was five weeks ago.”
To our own countrywoman, Delia Bacon, belongs the everlasting honor, and also, alas! in the long line of the world's benefactors, the crown of martyrdom - - Edwin Reed: Brief for Plaintiff, Bacon vs Shakespeare, 1892

Chariots of Verulam
The author of the Shakespeare plays was a linguist, many of the Plays being based on Greek, Spanish, and Italian productions which had not then been translated into English. Latin and French were seemingly as familiar to him as a mother tongue. It is thus apparent that not less than five foreign languages, living and dead, were included in his repertory.
Latin: The Comedy of Errors was founded upon the Menæchmi of Plautus, a comic poet, who wrote about 200 B.C. The first translation of the Latin work into English, was made in 1595, subsequently to the appearance of the Shakespeare play, and without any resemblance to it “in any peculiarity of language, of names, or of any other matter, however slight.” - Verplanck.
“His frequent use of Latin derivatives in their radical sense shows a somewhat thoughtful and observant study of that language.” - Richard Grant White.
Greek: Timon of Athens was drawn partly from Plutarch and partly from Lucian, the latter author not having been translated into English earlier than 1638 (White), fifteen years after the publication of the play. Helena’s pathetic lament over a lost friendship in Midsummer Night’s Dream (III., 2) had its prototype in an un-translated Greek poem by St. Gregory of Nazianzus, published at Venice in 1504. - Gibbons’ Decline and Fall, Chap, xxvii.
Italian: An Italian novel, written by Giraldi Cinthio and first printed in 1565, furnished the incidents for the story of Othello. The author of the play “read it probably in the original, for no English translation of his time is known.” - Gervinus.
“He was, without doubt, quite able to read Italian.” - Richard Grant White
French: One entire scene and parts of others in Henry V., are in French. Plowden’s French Commentaries, containing the celebrated case of Hales vs. Petit, which was satirized by the grave-diggers, were translated into English for the first time more than half a century after Hamlet was written.
Spanish: The poet drew some of his materials for the Two Gentlemen of Verona from the Spanish romance of Montemayor, entitled The Diana, which was translated into English in 1582, the translation, however, not being printed till 1598. “The resemblances are too minute to be accidental.” - Halliwell-Phillipps.
As the play was produced previously to 1593, it follows that the author read either the translation in manuscript or the Spanish original. The latter supposition, particularly in view of his other linguistic acquirements, is more probable. An unknown play, based on the same story and played before the Queen in 1585, was doubtless the Two Gentlemen of Verona in an earlier form.
"Every person is like a sheet of glass, with its surface differently cut, so as differently to receive, reflect, and retract the rays of light that fall upon it. This could be called the miracle of being, yet, why should we strive to be accepted and crave to be seen, since any sheet of glass, if not handled with care, can shatter?" - - Lochithea

Britain's Bacon - His Royal Society
"A man talking, shows more clearly his conditions, than does his face."
Socrates
This Society, as is well known, originated in certain informal meetings during the Civil Wars (according to Dr. Wallis in 1645), though it did not receive its Charter of Incorporation till 1662.
Bishop Sprat, its earliest historian, in a work written in 1667, speaks of Bacon, as having “had the true imagination of the whole extent of this enterprise, as it is now set on foot.” And then he proceeds: “In whose books there are everywhere scattered the best arguments, that can be produced for the defence of Experimental Philosophy; and the best directions that are needful to promote it. All which he has already adorned with so much art; that if my desires could have prevailed with some excellent friends of mine, who engaged me to this work: there should have been no other Preface to the History of the Royal Society, but some of his writings.”
"Many men punish in others the same things in which themselves are offenders." - -Socrates

The Favourites
How can you ask me
Not to vibrate sweetest pleasure?
Or not thrill the deepest
Notes of my heart?
How can this be asked?
Many instances might be produced of Favourites, who without being chargable with any great Crime, have been ruined by their own insolence and Presumption; only Peircy Gaveston, the two Spencers, and even Cardinal Woolsey himself, are instances in our History, not to mention any latter.
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (1533-1588) fifth son of
John, Duke of Northumberland, and brother of Lord Guildfordb
Dudley, the husband of Lady Jane Grey.
His mind was ever “at his command, and flexible to all the puffs and variations of fortune”. He could not have been Elizabeth’s favourite, without the sovereign grace of self-control, nor without the, to her, more serviceable attribute of flexibility.

George Villiers, Earl of Buckingham (1592-1628)
A preface to the patent of creation of Sir George Villiers leaves my quill. His creation of Lord Blechley of Blechley, and of Viscount Villiers, Blechley being his own name and I like the sound of the name better than Whaddon: but the name will be hid, for he shall be called Viscount Villiers. - - Stephens, Letters and Remains of the Lord Chancellor Bacon, 1734

Baconian hush-hush
Sir John Hayward, historiographer of Chelsea College, was a celebrated historian and biographer, in this, and the preceding reign; and was particularly admired for his style.
He wrote the lives of the three Norman Kings, and also the lives of Henry IV., and Edward VI. Some political reflections in the life of Henry IV., which offended Queen Elizabeth, were the occasion of his suffering a tedious imprisonment.
The Queen asked Francis Bacon, who was then of her Counsel Learned in the law, if he discovered any treason in that book. He told her Majesty that he saw no treason in it, but much felony. The Queen bid him explain himself. Upon which he told her, that he had stolen his political remarks from Tacitus. This discovery was thought to have prevented his being put to the rack. There are however discrepencies in Bacon's Apologie on the subject.
