vol. 3.{3}                                 | 3. Franz Träger discovered that the
                                           | Spedding & Ellis as MS6462 is not
                                           | correct, in fact it is MS6463. In
                                           | his opinion Valerius Terminus was
                                           | written before The Advancement of
                                           | Learning. Anderson, Farrington
                                           | and Rossi also have the opinion
                                           | that it was written in 1603.
                                           | Stephens in his edition of 1734
                                           | uses the same order as the
                                           | handwritten copy of Bacon's text.
                                           | Later editors, including Spedding
                                           | and Ellis, choose an order which
                                           | corresponds to Bacon's new order
                                           | of chapters given in his index.
                                           | Franz Träger compared the
                                           | translation of the 11th chapter
