Superstitions & Folk Belief

The Advancement of Learning

by Francis Bacon

Bacon's survey of the state of knowledge and programme for its reform, written in English for James I. Among many proposals it calls for natural history to be purged of fables and for a register of popular errors, a call answered by later writers such as Thomas Browne.
