Uniformly bound in the publisher's original cloth. Volume I contains a frontispiece and additional folding plate. A significant selection of the works of leading Enlightenment philosopher and physician John Locke, often heralded as the "father of liberalism". Locke's theories are strongly linked to modern concepts of personal identity and the psychology of the self, influencing the work of later philosophers, such as Rousseau, Hume, and Kant. Uniformly bound in the publisher's original cloth. Archival markings to the front paste down of each copy. Bookplate of City of Cardiff Reference Library to the front paste down of On Toleration. Externally, very smart with slight bumping and rubbing, resulting in minor loss of cloth and fraying to the spine head and tail, and light marking to the boards. Internally, generally firmly bound, a little weaker to the hinges, especially to the front of Some Thoughts on Education. Folding plate slightly torn along one crease. Reasonably bright and clean with stronger discolouration to the endpapers and heavier spotting to the first and last few pages of each copy. Very Good.
