Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story, Vol. 4
Mankind may now echo the words of this introduction to the r623 Edition of the Shakespeare Plays, with a broader meaning. The contents of this book have been as much a surprise to those who have deciphered it as it will be to the world. That francis bacon should write portions of the history of his father, his mother, and the Queen of Scots, as a Play, and mask it in Plays to prove his authorship of them all, is an accomplishment such as the greatest admirers of that great genius could have thought hardly possible; but that in doing so he should conceal in the Cipher a Play so sustained, so dramatic, so powerful, so historically concise, as is the Tragedy of Mary Queen of Scots here transcribed, marks a genius capable of unparalleled literary achievements.
