Bacon \Bacon\, Roger Bacon \Roger Bacon\prop. n. Roger Bacon. A celebrated English philosopher of the thirteenth century. Born at or near Ilchester, Somersetshire, about 1214: died probably at Oxford in 1294. He is credited with a recognition of the importance of experiment in answering questions about the natural world, recognized the potential importance of gunpowder and explosives generally, and wrote comments about several of the physical sciences that anticipated facts proven by experiment only much later.
The Franciscan monk, Roger Bacon (c. 1214 - 1294) was
an important transitional figure in chemistry as he was
trained in the alchemical tradition, but introduced
many of the modern concepts of experimental science.
Bacon believed that experiment was necessary to support
theory, but for him the theory as presented in the
Bible was true and the experiment only underlined that
truth. One of Bacon's lasting contributions was his
references to gunpowder, bringing this discovery to the
general attention of literate Europeans.
Gunpowder had been known for centuries in China, being
used for fireworks and incendiary grenades. Gunpowder
is a simple mixture of charcoal, sulfur, and potassium
nitrate (known generally as saltpeter). Saltpeter is a
major component of guano (bird droppings) and may be
recovered from privies where it will crystallize. By
1324, Europeans had discovered the art of using
gunpowder to fire a projectile, marking the end of the
period of castles and knights in armor.

Roger Bacon was Born at or near Ilchester,
Somersetshire, about 1214: died probably at Oxford in
1294. He was educated at Oxford and Paris (whence he
appears to have returned to England about 1250), and
joined the Franciscan order. In 1257 he was sent by his
superiors to Paris where he was kept in close
confinement for several years. About 1265 he was
invited by Pope Clement IV. to write a general treatise
on the sciences, in answer to which he composed his
chief work, the "Opus Majus." He was in England in
1268. In 1278 his writings were condemned as heretical
by a council of his order, in consequence of which he
was again placed in confinement. He was at liberty in
1292. Besides the "Opus Majus," his most notable works
are "Opus Minus," "Opus Tertium," and "Compendium
Philosophiae." See Siebert, "Roger Bacon," 1861; Held,
"Roger Bacon's Praktische Philosophie," 1881; and L.
Schneider, "Roger Bacon," 1873.
--Century
Dict. 1906.
Dr. Whewell says that Roger Bacon's Opus Majus is "the
encyclopedia and Novam Organon of the Thirteenth
Century, a work equally wonderful with regard to its
general scheme and to the special treatises with which
the outlines of the plans are filled up.[sb] The
professed object of the work is to urge the necessity
of a reform in the mode of philosophizing, to set forth
the reasons why knowledge had not made a greater
progress, to draw back attention to the sources of
knowledge which had been unwisely neglected, to
discover other sources which were yet almost untouched,
and to animate men in the undertaking by a prospect of
the vast advantages which it offered.[sb] In the
development of this plan all the leading portions of
science are expanded in the most complete shape which
they had at that time assumed; and improvements of a
very wide and striking kind are proposed in some of the
principal branches of study.[sb] Even if the work had
no leading purposes it would have been highly valuable
as a treasure of the most solid knowledge and soundest
speculations of the time; even if it bad contained no
such details it would have been a work most remarkable
for its general views and scope."

Bacon \Bacon\, Francis Bacon \Francis Bacon\prop. n.
Francis Bacon. A celebrated English philosopher, jurist, and
statesman, son of Sir Nicholas Bacon. Born at York House,
London, Jan. 22, 1561: died at Highgate, April 9, 1626,
created Baron Verulam July 12, 1618, and Viscount St.
Albans Jan. 27, 1621: commonly, but incorrectly, called
Lord Bacon. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge,
April, 1573, to March, 1575, and at Gray's Inn 1575; became
attached to the embassy of Sir Amias Paulet in France in
1576; was admitted to the bar in 1582; entered Parliament in
1584; was knighted in 1603; became solicitor-general in 1607,
and attorney-general in 1613; was made a privy councilor in
1616, lord keeper in 1617, and lord chancellor in 1618; and
was tried in 1621 for bribery, condemned, fined, and removed
from office. A notable incident of his career was his
connection with the Earl of Essex, which began in July, 1591,
remained an intimate friendship until the fall of Essex
(1600-01), and ended in Bacon's active efforts to secure the
conviction of the earl for treason. (See Essex.) His great
fame rests upon his services as a reformer of the methods of
scientific investigation; and though his relation to the
progress of knowledge has been exaggerated and misunderstood,
his reputation as one of the chief founders of modern
inductive science is well grounded. His chief works are the
"Advancement of Learning," published in English as "The Two
Books of Francis Bacon of the Proficience and Advancement of
Learning Divine and Human," in 1605; the "Novum organum sive
indicia vera de interpretatione naturae," published in Latin,
1620, as a "second part" of the (incomplete) "Instauratio
magna"; the "De dignitate et augmentis scientiarum,"
published in Latin in 1623; "Historia Ventorum" (1622),
"Historia Vitae et Mortis" (1623), "Historia Densi et Rari"
(posthumously, 1658), "Sylva Sylvarum" (posthumously, 1627),
"New Atlantis," "Essays" (1597, 1612, 1625), "De Sapientia
Veterum" (1609), "Apothegms New and Old," "History of Henry
VII." (1622). Works edited by Ellis, Spedding, and Heath (7
vols. 1857); Life by Spedding (7 vols. 1861, 2 vols. 1878).
See Shakspere.

Bacon is a cured meat prepared from a pig.
Bacon may also refer to:
Bacon is a meat product prepared from pork and usually cured. It is first cured using large quantities of salt, either in a brine or in a dry packing; the result is fresh bacon (also known as green bacon). Fresh bacon may then be further dried for weeks or months in cold air, or it may be boiled or smoked. Fresh and dried bacon is typically cooked before eating, often by frying. Boiled bacon is ready to eat, as is some smoked bacon, but may be cooked further before eating.
Bacon is prepared from several different cuts of meat. It is usually made from side and back cuts of pork, except in the United States and Canada, where it is most commonly prepared from pork belly (typically referred to as "streaky", "fatty", or "American style" outside of the US and Canada). The side cut has more meat and less fat than the belly. Bacon may be prepared from either of two distinct back cuts: fatback, which is almost pure fat, and pork loin, which is very lean. Bacon-cured pork loin is known as back bacon.
Bacon may be eaten smoked, boiled, fried, baked, or grilled and eaten on its own, as a side dish (particularly in breakfasts in North America) or used as a minor ingredient to flavour dishes (e.g., the Club sandwich). Bacon is also used for barding and larding roasts, especially game, including venison and pheasant. The word is derived from the Old High German bacho, meaning "buttock", "ham" or "side of bacon", and cognate with the Old French bacon.
In contrast to the practice in the United States, in continental Europe these cuts of the pig are usually not smoked, but are instead used primarily in cubes ( lardons) as a cooking ingredient, valued both as a source of fat and for its flavour. In Italy, this product is called pancetta and is usually cooked in small cubes or thinly sliced as part of an antipasto.
Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as "bacon". Such use is common in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations, both of which prohibit the consumption of pigs. The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; other cuts and characteristics must be separately qualified (e.g., "smoked pork loin bacon"). For safety, bacon may be treated to prevent trichinosis, caused by Trichinella, a parasitic roundworm which can be destroyed by heating, freezing, drying, or smoking.
Bacon is distinguished from salt pork and ham by differences in the brine (or dry packing). Bacon brine has added curing ingredients, most notably sodium nitrite, and occasionally potassium nitrate ( saltpeter); sodium ascorbate or erythorbate are added to accelerate curing and stabilise colour. Flavourings such as brown sugar or maple are used for some products. Sodium polyphosphates, such as sodium triphosphate, may be added to make the produce easier to slice and to reduce spattering when the bacon is pan-fried. Today, a brine for ham, but not bacon, includes a large amount of sugar. Historically, "ham" and "bacon" referred to different cuts of meat that were brined or packed identically, often together in the same barrel.
Bacon is a Norman French surname originally from Normandy and England. In early sources, it also appears as "Bachun" and "Bacun".
Bacon, sometimes called American Euchre, is a trick-taking card game which resembles a simplified version of Euchre. It differs from Euchre in that it uses a full 52-card Anglo-American deck, has a slightly modified scoring system and trump selection system, uses a normalized card ordering to make it easier to learn, and adds the aspect of permission. It originated in the mid-to-late 1900s and is somewhat popular in the Eastern United States. It is one of the simpler trick-taking games and is a good game for introducing the concept of trumps to inexperienced players.
Bacon is a 2014 album by Russian-American rock band Igor & the Red Elvises.
The existence of a pre-Christian Gallic or Gallo-Roman deity named Bacon has been posited based on an inscription in Latin from a monument in Chalon-sur-Saône, in France, preserved in the hagiography of a Saint Marcel de Chalon, martyred in 177 or 179. According to L. Armand-Calliat, the cult of this Bacon was inherited by a Saint Anthony, venerated in the Haute Bourgogne.
