Of the Conduct of the Understanding

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The treatise is unrevised and incomplete, but these circumstances (the reasons of, which are explained in the Introduction) only slightly affect its value to the student. It may be remarked that the punctuation of the original edition, which seems to have been made almost entirely at hap-hazard, has been revised throughout by the pre sent editor. The sketch of Locke's life prefixed to this work is necessarily meagre. For a fuller biography and an account of his writings generally, the reader is referred to the editor's 'locke,' recently published by Messrs. Macmillan in their series of 'english Men of Letters,' or to the elaborate and, so far as concerns the biographical portion, almost exhaustive Life of Locke by Mr. Fox Bourne in two volumes.
