Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of John Locke, Vol. 1 of 2 In 1705, a few months after Locke´s death, his friend Jean Le Clerc published in the ´Bibliotheque Choisie´ a brief ´Eloge de M. Locke,´ which, as I have discovered, was little more than a translation of two letters that had been sent to him by competent authorities from whom he had sought information; the one written by the third Earl of Shaftesbury, author of ´Characteristics;´ the other, much longer and more; important, by Lady Masham, in whose house Locke chiefly resided during the last fourteen years of his life. Fairly accurate in its epitome of facts, and yet more accurate in its presentment of Locke´s character, Le Clerc´s graceful little memoir was all that could be expected as a magazine article, and deserved more careful rendering into English than it received in the version (small 4to, pp. iv., 32) published in London in 1706; but it was not adequate to the use made of it by all subsequent writers who have said anything about Locke´s personal history.
