  • Summary

    c. 1663–4. Nine essays in Latin, of which I–VIII are printed here. There is no general title, each essay being individually titled. MS Locke, e. 6 is in Locke's hand but contains only Essays IV–IX; f. 31 is a copy of the whole text in the hand of an amanuensis with corrections and additions by Locke; there is a later copy in f. 30, pp. 122–84 (which Locke marked ‘Lex Na[tur]ae’). Printed in Von Leyden 1954; Horwitz et al. 1990 (under the title Questions Concerning the Law of Nature); extracts in Raphael 1969, 1, 160–66; Wootton 1993, pp. 177–83. Discussed in Von Leyden 1954 and 1956; Singh 1961; Seliger 1963; Abrams 1967, pp. 84–107; Dunn 1969, chs. 3, 14; Snyder 1986. Cited by Laslett, First Treatise, §86; Second Treatise, §§12, 14, 51, 57, 77, 93. Letters 104, 106, 932 and 957 are pertinent. The present text reproduces Von Leyden's translation (1954, pp. 109–215). He used MS f. 31 as his copy-text; arguably he should have used MS e. 6 for Essays IV–IX. For criticism of his edition see Horwitz et al 1990 and Stewart 1992. Horwitz argues, inter alia, that Von Leyden's use of such Christian terms as ‘Almighty God’ and ‘Adam’ is not warranted by the Latin text. I have retained Von Leyden's numbering of the essays: in fact, Locke numbered from 1 to XII, but left three as titles only, without corresponding text. […]
