A man of insatiable curiosity and wide social connection, his letters open up the cultural, social, intellectual and political worlds of the later Stuart age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis handsomely produced volume is well worth its while ... The result of Goldie's choice of letters and of the generally excellent editorial material which surrounds them is a book not only in which one might browse with pleasure but also which might be read systematically. * Locke Studies *\u003cbr\u003eMark Goldie has now performed a vital task for all serious students of Locke: he has given us a selection of the most important of these letters in a single volume that is light in weight and elegantly annotated. The letters collected here-both to and from Locke-can be read from start to finish, telling the story of a man who was to find himself both at the centre of the 'commonwealth of learning' and of the struggle against political and religious tyranny in the British Isles. * James Hill, Acta Comeniana *\u003cbr\u003eEach of the sixteen temporally separate groups of letters is prefaced with a couple of pages of useful biography. Also there is an excellent overall thirty-page introduction. * Locke Studies *\u003cbr\u003eMark Goldie's edition of Selected Correspondence is a timely attempt to unlock this cabinet of secrets for a much larger audience ... His knowledge of Locke and his historical setting is exemplary ... He faces the formidable challenge with tact and composure ... fascinating to read, and often illuminating in detail ... It fully deserves to carry the pleasures and insights of the correspondence to a much wider circle of readers. * John Dunn, Times Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
