Stock Code 115337
London, Printed for A. Bettesworth and C. Hitch in Pater-Noster-Row, J. Pemberton in Fleetstreet, and E. Symon in Cornhill, 1732
Locke's counsels were at first embodied in a series of letters dating from July 1684 to March 1691, and did not appear in print in this revised book format until 1693, when the first edition of Some Thoughts concerning Education was published anonymously. Clarke's son, 'a sort of downe right honest Blockheaded boy' (see Mary Clarke's letters to Locke) apparently gained little from her friend's labours.
Ninth edition; 12mo (16.5 x 10.5 cm); old pricing in pen to rear endpapers, toned with occasional minor spotting; contemporary sprinkled calf, covers ruled in gilt, spine fragmented with loss to headcap, joints carefully repaired, hinges reinforced, corners a little rubbed; [6], 331, [3]pp.
