Perhaps it's more a matter of style, and the way in which Bacon piles one fact on top of another, on top of another. For me, it's unnecessary padding, and these were just a couple of examples of that. (The whole detailed examination of Joseph Barss's life and times was the gigantic example of Bacon's padding.)
But if it works for you, and is of interest, that's fine. It would be a dull world if we all liked the same things and thought the same way!
