Sinopsis

Excerpt from Bacon

In the Parliament which met in November, 1584, when the nation was in a white heat on the question of the main tenance of the Protestant religion and the Protestant succes sion, Bacon was returned to the House of Commons for the borough of Melcombe in Dorsetshire, having been also returned by Burghley for Gatton. In the next Parliament, which met in October, 1586, just after sentence had been passed by the Commissioners on Mary Queen of Scots, he sat for Taunton, and is mentioned by d'ewes as one of the speakers, on the 4th of November, on the Great Cause. Except the fact, however, that he spoke on the popular side, we know nothing of this speech. In the same year (1586),he became a bencher of Gray's Inn, and thus acquired the right to practise before the Courts at Westminster. At this time, therefore, when he was hardly twenty-six years of age, we may regard him as fairly started on his career, both as a lawyer and a politician.
