Francis Bacon (1561-1626) led the advancement of both natural philosophy and the scientific method and his works remained influential even in the late stages of the Scientific Revolution. Bacon was a patron of libraries, and developed a system of cataloguing books under three categories: history, poetry, and philosophy - which could be further divided into subcategories. Elizabeth I reserved him as her legal advisor in 1597. FORN-MSB-0723-0741-HK470
