Excerpt from Stories of Inventors and Discoverers in Science and the Useful Arts: A Book for Old and Young

Occasionally it has been but justice to set in their proper light the merits of old workers - as in The True History of Friar Bacon, who was a reformer of science centuries before his more illustrious namesake Francis Lord Bacon. In the Story of Paracelsus, too, a proper estimate is attempted of his discoveries, which have been, in some instances, obscured by his quackery.
