From reviews of earlier volumes:` It is more than seventy years since Henry Ollion expressed the hope that one day England would give Locke an edition of his letters worthy of the philospher and his country. Here at last we have it.' Keith Thomas, English Historical Review`No-one could have been better equipped in learning, editorial skills, patience and ingenuity for this immense task than Dr de Beer: and the latest volume exemplifies these qualities just as well as the first. The editing is quite simply a model of its kind.' K. H. D. Haley, Times Literary Supplement
