Biography:
LEE, Francis Bacon (fl 1768-1772)
It is possible that “Francis Bacon Lee” was a pen-name, or a variant of the too-common name “Francis Lee”: the full name does not appear in public records of birth, marriage, and death but only in a few newspaper advertisements and title-pages. He translated from the French two of the works of the contemporary Swiss physician Samuel Auguste André David Tissot--one on the diseases “of literary and sedentary persons” (1768), and one the disorders of “people of fashion” (1771)—that were included in the English collection of Tissot’s Three Essays (1772). His poem The Debauchee does not appear to have had much impact, and no other poetical work appeared under this name. HJ
