He also shares personal anecdotes and updates on his own life, including his health and his travels.Overall, Some Familiar Letters Between Mr. Locke, And Several Of His Friends offers a unique perspective on one of the most influential thinkers of the Enlightenment era, and provides valuable insight into the intellectual and social milieu of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
