Henrey 986; Hunt II, 592. FIRST EDITION and exceptionally rare. Researched and written during Locke's time convalescing at Montpellier, France. The work was submitted as a manuscript to his patron the First Earl of Shaftesbury, but was not published until 87 years later by the fourth Earl. "This small work was a fruit of Locke's sojourn in France in 1675-79 . . . The editor, 'G.S.', remembering Locke's association with the government of Carolina sees in Locke's Observations a number applicable to horticulture in America, and imagines that the consequent commerce in silk, wines, and olives will induce the most perfect harmony . . . between Great Britain and her colonies" (Hunt). - Visit our website for additional images and information.
