Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roger Bacon After a long interval the Opus Maius of 1733 was succeeded in 1859 by the second and third of the greater works, published by Brewer in the Rolls Series', namely, the Opus Minus, written partly to elucidate the previous work and to discuss various errors standing in the way of study; and the Opus Tertium, which begins with an account of the author's personal history, and dwells on the impedi ments thrown in his way by the ignorance, prejudice, and indifference of his contemporaries. A further portion of this work, dealing in a summary way with mathematics and optics and experimental science and alchemy, was published by Mr. A. G. Little in 1912.
