In his early tracts on the civil magistrate.he had felt that the need for order in society justified the authority of the magistrate over matters indifferent to salvation. Under the influence of Shaftesbury and of his own investigations of the scope of certain knowledge his emphasis changed. Without certainty in matters of religion the conscience must be allowed liberty; the authority of the magistrate must be confined to preserving the existence of society and the safety and property of the citizen. LockeÃs thoughts on this subject as on so many others matured during his stay in Holland where his circle of friends consisted primarily of dissenters from the established church such as the Remonstrant pastor and theologian Philippus van Limborch. In 1686 Locke drafted a letter in Latin to his friend which was published probably by Limborch in 1689î Attig p. 12. The Epistola de tolerantia was almost immediately translated into English and published in London. It was ìimmediately attacked in two anonymous pamphlets the most significant of which was ProastÃs Argument March 1690. LockeÃs own response was equally swift and his Second letter appeared in June. Proast replied to LockeÃs Second letter with his Third letter concerning toleration 1691. Locke in response published A third letter for toleration the following year. Proast did not return to the attack until 1704 when he published his Second letter to the author of the three letters for toleration. Locke was defended by an anonymous author probably John Shute Barrington in the postscript to The rights of the Protestant dissenters. At the time of his death that same year Locke had begun his own reply. The draft was published by his executors Peter King and Anthony Collins in 1706î Attig pp. 18-19. Attig 93. Rothschild 2733.

Front board loose boards rubbed spine label absent. 1794 Full-Leather. viii 250 pp. 12mo. Contemporary calf. First published in 1689 this is a foundational work in the influential British school of empiricism of which Locke was among the leading proponents. Empirical philosophy argued that knowledge stemmed from subjective experience a posteriori rather than the operation of objective reason a priori.

This abridgment is the only 18th century American edition of Locke's work which was not published in a complete U.S. edition until 1803. Manning & Loring unknown books
