Sir Francis Bacon's unfinished utopian novel was released in 1626
It was nestled into the back of a larger text of natural history, Sylva sylvarum, unnoticed (forest of materials). Bacon depicted a vision of the future of human discovery and knowledge in New Atlantis, representing his goals and ideals for humanity. The storey recounts the development of a utopian land in which the inhabitants of the legendary Bensalem are known for their "generosity and enlightenment, dignity and grandeur, piety and civic spirit." Salomon's House (or Solomon's House) envisioned the current research university in both applied and pure sciences in its plan and organisation.
