Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bacon's Dial in Shakespeare: A Compass-Clock Cipher
This book tries to show that a cipher designed by Francis Bacon, and based on the union of a clock and compass in Dial form, exists in the First Folio of Shakespeare, printed in 1623.
The Dial cipher is used as a literary framework for the plays, and is closely associated with the finest passages and allusions. It does not dis place Baconian evidence already brought for ward by others, and it does strengthen the force of many visible acrostics in the text, by showing their placements as they tally on the Dial chart.
