MS. Locke c. 42B

A commonplace book containing non-scientific notes, 1679 to 1692. It is one of two commonplace books bound together, apparently on instructions from Peter King. This second part contains notes on a variety of philosophical and ethical topics.

The notebook was begun in 1679 and was first used to transcribe notes taken in Locke’s journals during his stay in France, 1676-1679. Most entries are dated. There is an index according to Locke’s method of commonplacing on pp. iv-v.
