"Wormald provides important insights into Bacon's natural philosophy in the process of examining the similarities between his natural and civil philosophy programs.". A. Rupert Hall, Nature "Wormald resists any fast flights to the easy, familiar generalizations about Bacon; rather throughout his study he remains centered in and on the texts of Bacon.To gain a formidable understanding of a past thinker, text and context must be brought together.to accomplish it with integrity and also advance our understanding is a test of any genujne, scholarly contribution.In opening a number of new vistas to Bacon, Wormald suceeds in this and to our benefit.".
