“Respirationis usus”   [1666]

Location:   Public Record Office, London, PRO 30/24/47/2, ff. 71-74^v.

Description:   A Latin paper on the purpose of respiration, in Locke’s hand. According to Walmsley, it most likely dates between May and November 1666. The manuscript consists of two pieces of paper folded in half, the one inserted into the other, to form 8 pages. Fol. 71 contains only the title “Respirationis usus”; f. 71^v contains several questions for disputation. The outer sheet measures 206 × 156 mm; the inner sheet, 198 × 156 mm.

The manuscript is currently misbound in a volume in the Shaftesbury papers, the inner sheet bound back-to-front. The correct sequence is ff. 71^r, 71^v, 73^r, 73^v, 72^r, 72^v, 74^r, 74^v.

Publications:

Dewhurst was not aware of the misbinding, and his transcription is out of order. His transcription is inaccurate and incomplete.

Location:   British Library, Add. MS. 32,554, pp. 232-233, 237, 246, 248-250.

Description:   An unfinished entry in Locke’s hand in a medical commonplace book. The word “Morbus” appears in the margin at the head of the entry, as well as on each subsequent new page. Walmsley dates the entry between September 1666 and May 1667, based primarily on its reference to Boyle’s Origine of formes and qualities, which Locke was reading during that time.
