For long he suffered calumny and neglect; though unlike so many innovators in scientific speculation, it is true that he escaped torture and death at the hands of his contemporaries. He nevertheless suffered much persecution, as well shall learn in what follows. Contents: molding of Roger Bacon's mind; fruits of Roger Bacon's learning; astrology; alchemy; medicine; magic and the discovery of gunpowder.
