Binding with some slight traces of wear, an unobtrusive marginal waterstain in the inner margin at the end of the book but still a very fine copy. This is the first Latin edition of Locke's ''Essay on human understanding'' based on the 4th English edition. The translation is from the hand of Ezekiel Burridge. An important publication because, together with the French translation (from 1700) this made Locke's text known outside England. (See Attig 421). .
