The Advancement of Learning or more accurately, The Proficience and Advancement of Learning, Divine and Human, though perhaps less read than his Essays, has had a remarkable impact on the course of human scientific endeavors and philosopy. It inspired the taxonomic structure of the highly influential Encyclopédie by Jean le Rond d'Alembert and Denis Diderot, and is credited by Bacon's biographer Catherine Drinker Bowen with being a major pioneering essay in support of empirical philosophy. The following passage from The Advancement of Learning was used as the foreword to a popular Cambridge textbook: "So that as Tennis is a game of no use in itself, but of great use in respect it maketh a quick eye, and a body ready to put itself in all positions, so, in the Mathematics the use which is collateral, an intervenient, is no less worthy, than that which is principle and intended". ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 151 pages .
