LETTERS ON TOLERATION BY JOHN LOCKE. PRINTED, BY ORDER OF THE UNIVERSITY, BOMBAY, AT THE EDUCATION SOCIETY'S PBESS, BYCULLA. 1867.

ADVERTISEMENT.

. This edition is a reprint from the ten-volume London edition of Locke's Works whish bears date 1812. The only additions or alterations made in this reprint consist, apart from corrections of obvious printer's errors, in an addendum to the preface, the numbering of the paragraphs, a corre sponding change of references, and the supply, from Lord King's Life of Locke, of a lacuna in the fourth letter. TO THE READER. THE ensuing Letter concerning Toleration, first printed in Latin this very year in Holland, has already been trans lated both into Dutch and French. So general and speedy an approbation may therefore bespeak its favourable recep tion in England. I think indeed there is no nation under heaven in which so much has already been said upon that subject as ours. But yet certainly there is no people that stand in more need of having something further both said and done amongst them in this point than we do.
