St. Alban’s. His chaplain, Dr. Rawley, ends the life which he wrote of his old master with words which form a fitting conclusion to every life of him: ‘But howsoever his body was mortal, yet no doubt his memory and works will live, and will in all probability last as long as the world lasteth.’ And with this anticipation we leave Francis Bacon to the judgement of all time.
