Concerning the bi-literal cypher of Francis Bacon discovered in his works

by Elizabeth Wells Gallup

[6] The Biliteral Cipher of Sir Francis Bacon, by Mrs. Gallup.

[7] The passage quoted is from the translation by Gilbert Wats, 1640, as reproduced in The Bi-literal Cypher of Francis Bacon, at the end of Part I.

[8] Published, since this article was written, in the Third Edition of Bacon’s Bi-literal Cypher.

[9] Even present day London writers are not in accord in the use of “u,” for I find in the Times, “font of type.” Mr. Marston and others write “fount.”... Are the writings of “A Correspondent” in the Times to be discredited for following the American method?

[10] See “Old and New London,” Vol. II., p. 269.

[11] Sir John Spencer’s daughter and heiress Elizabeth, married Lord William Compton (created Earl of Northampton), eloping with him from Canonbury Manor in a baker’s basket. (As I am a man, there was one conveyed out of my house yesterday in this basket.—Merry Wives of W. Act IV., sc. ii.)

[12] Created Baron Verulam of Verulam 12th of July, 1618, and Visct. St. Alban Feb. 3rd, 1619.

[13] The acreage of various “closes” is here given.
