ANNOUNCEMENT.
_THE BI-LITERAL CYPHER OF FRANCIS BACON_,
Deciphered by ELIZABETH WELLS GALLUP.
THIRD EDITION
This edition embraces decipherings from the commencement of the use
of Bacon’s Cipher inventions--now found to be 1579--and covering the
entire period of his literary career, including some works published by
Rawley subsequent to 1626. The Cypher has been traced with certainty
down to 1651.
This _Bi-literal Cypher_ reveals much secret history concerning Queen
Elizabeth, who, it is now learned, was the wedded wife of Robert, Earl
of Leicester--while posing as the Virgin Queen--and was the mother of
Francis Bacon.
It also discloses the existence of a second so-called Key-Word Cipher,
of broader scope, running through all of Bacon’s literary works, with
instructions by which they may be deciphered to disclose other hidden
dramatical and historical productions of larger importance and greater
historical accuracy than those upon the printed pages which enfold
them. These are found also to contain secret history, dangerous to
Bacon, who sought by this means to transmit it to a future time in
which he hoped the Ciphers would be discovered and the truth proclaimed.
The method of the Word Cipher is shown in the deciphered _Tragedy of
Anne Boleyn_, published simultaneously with this Third Edition,--also
in the _Tragedy of Robert, Earl of Essex_,--and the Tragedy of _Mary,
Queen of Scots_.
_THE TRAGEDY OF ANNE BOLEYN_,
Deciphered by ELIZABETH WELLS GALLUP,
One of the Historical Dramas in Cipher named in the _Bi-literal Cypher_
as concealed in the works of Bacon.
Part I.
Contains extracts from the Bi-literal, with Bacon’s instructions and
the Keys by which this Tragedy has been extracted fully illustrating
the Word Cipher method of its reconstruction.
An appendix gives the editions used and pages on which may be found the
scattered sections brought together in new sequence to form the new
play.
Included in Part I will also be found the decipherings made by Mrs.
Gallup in the British Museum subsequent to the publication of the
Second Edition of the _Bi-literal Cypher_, and are from Old Editions
appearing between 1579 and 1590, establishing the earliest dates this
Cypher appeared. They are placed here for the convenience of these
having Second Editions only.
