Manuscripts
This autograph manuscript essay is entirely in the hand of John Locke; the one draft is 31 folios in length and the other is only 2 pages. This essay was prepared eighteen years before Locke's "Epistola de Tolerantia," and remained unpublished until Fox Bourne printed it in his "Life of John Locke" in 1876.
