Bertrand Russell's book, unfortunately for you, is online (FWIIW Wisdom of the West is much better). The phrase "Scientific Method" appears a grand total of 7 times in the entire 960 page book. Bacon and Grosseteste do show up in it, but Russell is basically completely unconcerned with the subject of who originated the scientific method.
He was also a typical English bigot of his day, largely dismissive of the contributions of papists. One thing you apparently have in common with Bertrand Russell.
You can go read "Man and Technics" by Oswald Spengler if you care to lift your pig ignorance on this topic. It's short and sweet. He wrote something larger, but I strongly suspect you lack the attention span.
