    For myself * I owe you any best ae ~ knotvledgmetits for the pleasure I have received in reading your History . I think you have exhausted the subject . Yea havd certainly exposed to the world that mystery of iiiiquity , and

    dragged it out of darkness into light . I have been hindered by many pressing engagements frofn yet reading ths whole work . After a shart stay in town , I am teturning to the fcouritry ,

    when I shall endeavour fufther to induigfc the desire you have excited . I cannot now answer your last letters , Whidh I found , as usual , very agreeable . In the hurry Qf coming t <> town 1 Ifcft them behind : when 1 return to

    the leisure and quiet of the country , I shall be fitter to hold converse with you : here t can scarcely breathe . In the mean time I must acknowledge your accustomed courtesy and friendship . 1 would be remembered most

    affectionately to all yours , especially your amiable wife and children , to our friends the Veens and Guennelons . I wish for you all prosperity and happiness . Farewell , afrd still regard iiie as Yours , most affectionately , J . LOCKE .

    sion , and am continually hoping to finish the remaining chapters in a fe >* days . But 1 have been so oceupied by new and unexpected visits and engagements foil © wing each other , iii ft perpetual round , that I have been hindered from day to day , tad shall still be hindered , unless your last very kind expostulations should remind mfc of the lapse of time , and arouse Hay sluggishness to pursue my first intentions .

    You now have my confession : 1 own myself dilatory . But my defaj as to its cause and intention , you c $ k scarcely blame ; or if there was any blame , it must be laid to the account of expectations continually deceiving

    me , certainly not to a defect in a friendship , which was ever the « amg towards you , nor ever more deeply felt by me , than even while by tttf silence I delayed to offet you the expressions of it .

    Your History of the Inquisition ^ I may venture to say , from what I have read , pleases me much . In its order , method , perspicuity and authorities , it appears to me as a finished work , nor can I see any thing farther to be desired . It is highly approved by all with whom I have convetsed respecting it . *

    I am sorry that our friend Le Clerc ( as you tvrite ) has received no letters from me for several weeks . 1 wrote to him more than two months since , and enclosed in my letter oft 6 to the Earl of Pembroke . I fear these Ifcttetfs
