Concerning the Bi-Literal Cypher of Francis Bacon, Discovered in His Works 
Pros and Cons of the Controversy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Seeking for things hidden, the mysterious, elusive and unexpected, has a fascination for many minds, as it has for my own, and this often prompts to greater effort than more manifest and material things would command. To this may be attributed, perhaps, the triumph over difli culties which have seemed to me, at times, insurmountable, the solution of problems, and the following of ways tor tuous and obscure, which have been necessary to bring out, as they appear in the following pages, the hidden mes sages which Francis Bacon so securely buried in his writ ings, that three hundred years of reading and close study have not until now uncovered them.
