Abstract

The article focuses on the publication history of a tract believed to be written by Francis Bacon. It discusses how the tract, originally attributed to Sir Francis Walsingham, was later reattributed to Bacon and examines the role of Thomas Powell in publishing it. The article suggests that Powell's printing of the tract provides valuable insights into its early dissemination, shedding light on its authorship and potential suppression by Bacon due to its outdated content on religious policy.
