[ Table of Contents ] [ Part One: Works by Locke ] Posthumous works (1706)Lockes instructions to Peter King mentioned four other works which he felt might deserve publication. These included Conduct of the understanding, Seeing all things in God, Miracles and Physica (Elements of natural philosophy; see Locke #789). The first three were published in 1706 in a collection of Posthumous works of Mr. John Locke, edited by King and Anthony Collins. The collection also contained the unfinished Fourth letter for toleration [Locke #92], some notes for a biography of the first Earl of Shaftesbury, and an English translation of Méthode nouvelle de dresser un recueil [Locke #31]. 724 Posthumous works of Mr. John Locke: viz. I. Of the conduct of the understanding. II. An examination of P. Malebranches opinion of seeing all things in God. III. A discourse of miracles. IV. Part of a Fourth letter for toleration. V. Memoirs relating to the life of Anthony first Earl of Shaftesbury. To which is added, VI. His New method of a common-place-book, written originally in French, and now translated into English. London, printed by W. B. [William Bowyer] for A. and J. Churchill 1706. [4], 336 p. 8o. Edited by Sir Peter King Published 25 June 1706 [notice in the Daily courant for 26 June. Reviews: Anon., ActaErud. (1708); Le Clerc, Bibliothèque choisie (1707) (includes a French translation of extensive extracts of Conduct of the understanding and Discourse of miracles) Y 299; C 12, 31, 71 All these posthumous works were included in the collected edition of Lockes Works (1714) [Locke #848] and in all subsequent editions. Of the conduct of the understandingIn 1697, Locke had written to Molyneux: I have lately got a little leisure to think of some additions to my book [the Essay], against the next edition, and within these few days have fallen upon a subject that I know not how far it will lead me. I have written several pages on it, but the matter, the farther I go, opens the more upon me, and I cannot yet get sight of any end of it. The title of the chapter will be Of the Conduct of the Understanding, which, if I shall pursue, as far as I imagine it will reach, and as it deserves, will, I conclude, make the largest chapter of my Essay. [Locke #847, vol. 6:87] The new chapter was intended as a new final chapter to be added to the 4th edition (1700) [Locke #231], but Locke did not complete it. It was published in 1706 by King and Collins and has often been reprinted, independently, with other works by Locke or with Bacons Essays. 725 Of the conduct of the understanding. // IN: Posthumous works of Mr. John Locke (1706) [Locke #724].
