The cryptograms in his various doc~m~'!\ts
point to the fact that he was actually the
son of Queen Elizabeth and the Ea~'l (1f
Leicester. The original marriage contract
is said to be in existence' at the preser,t
time, but the unhappy and sudden death
of the Earl caused Queen Elizabeth to
conceal the marriage. This being the case,
Francis Bacon was the true he'ir to the
throne of England, but he was never able
to claim his title. The secret which he
possessed to the effect that he was the
legitimate' heir to the throne is now be
lieved by Baconian experts to be the
prime cause of the unwarranted perse
cution heaped upon him by his contem
poraries.
Apparently realizing that he could not
hope' for justice during his own lifetime,
acon left to posten y- the abor of vin-
dicating him and accrediting him with that
knowledge and power which was his legit
imate right. He therefore went to infinite
pains to conceal within his documents the
secrets of his own unhappy life'. He was
a king who could never claim his throne,
persecuted for the fact that he knew his
own birthright. He dared not reveal it,
for it would have cost him his life, so he
wrote it into his books, concealing it in
ciphe'rs and veiling it in enigmatic state
ments, which are meaningless unless the
reader is acquainted with the tragedy of
the author. In order to protect his po
sition and divert suspicion from himself,
he assumed various names, writing his
books and accrediting them to either act
