	Lord Keeper of the Great Seal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, and later of Great Britain, was formerly an officer of the English Crown charged with physical custody of the Great Seal of England.
		Consequently, it became not unusual to place the personal custody of the great seal in the hands of a vice-chancellor or keeper; this, too, was the practice followed during a temporary vacancy in the chancellorship.
		In subsequent reigns the lord keeper was generally raised to the chancellorship, and retained the custody of the seal.

		Francis Bacon was the younger of the two sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, lord keeper of the great seal, by his second wife Anne, daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke and sister-in-law of lord Burghley.
		In a fragment 11 written about 1603, and, apparently, intended as a preface to his great work, Bacon set forth the ambitions which guided his life; and there is no reason for doubting the substantial accuracy of his account.
		This greatness of design was characteristic of the mind of the period as well as of Bacon personally.

	2. Francis Bacon, the first philosopher of modern science: A non-western view
		His father, Sir Nicholas Bacon, held the highest judicial office of State, the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, at the court of Elizabeth I. His mother, Anne, was the daughter of Edward VI's tutor, and Anne's sister was married to the Lord Treasurer.
		Lord Bacon in his judicial office is known to have misused his authority to torture prisoners and to issue injudicious monopolies to please his superiors at court.
		For this he was impeached by the House of Commons and sentenced by the House of Lords in 1626 to a large fine, imprisonment at the pleasure of the King, and banishment from court for life.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baconian System of Philosophy
		He was the second son of Lord Keeper Bacon and Anne, his second wife, daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke and sister-in-law of Lord Burghley.
		He recommended changes in the Oath of Supremacy and even went so far as to urge a circumspect toleration of the sectaries because their teaching led to an issue "which your most excellent Majesty is to wish and desire" viz., the diminutions, and weakening of Papists.
		The philosophy of Lord Bacon is too fragmentary to lend itself to criticism other than discursive, too largely conceived to be brushed aside with a mere line of comment, too full of symbolic expression to be exactly and briefly set down.

		The Lord Chief Justice, with the approval of the Minister, may delegate this function; the expectation is that the power would usually be delegated to the Heads of Criminal, Civil and Family Justice.
		As that office is to be abolished, the functions of the Lord Chancellor in relation to the Great Seal are to transfer to the Minister.

		Francis Bacon was born in London on January 22, 1561, the younger of two sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under Queen Elizabeth I. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1573, at age 12 and studied there for two years.
		Bacon later described his tutors as "Men of sharp wits, shut up in their cells of a few authors, chiefly Aristotle, their Dictator." This statement is indicative of Bacon's rejection of Aristotelianism and the beginning of his embrace of the new Renaissance Humanism.
		He became Lord Chancellor, in 1618; and that same year, at the age of fifty-seven, he was established as Baron Verulam.
