About this Item

He made an abridgment of it himself, which his friend Mr. Le Clerc translated into French, and inserted in one of his "Bibliotheques". This abridgment was so highly approved of by all persons of understanding, and sincere lovers of truth, that they expressed the strongest desire to see the whole work' (The Works of John Locke, 1714). Yolton 273, Christophersen p. 12. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 12mo, [xii], 538, [10] pp., contemporary sprinkled calf, worn with loss to spine ends, joints cracked but firm, label missing and gilt in the compartments dulled, but internally very good, the Lockean text clean and unbrowned.
