Summary, etc. Property I have nowhere found more clearly explaincd, than in a<br/>book entitled, Two Treatises of Government.' This remark was<br/>made by John Locke in 17o3, not much more than a year before he<br/>dicd. It must be a rare thing for an author to recommend one of<br/>his own works as a guide to a young gentleman anxious to acquire<br/>an insight into the constitution of the government, and real<br/>interest of his country'. It must be even rarer for a man who was<br/>prepared to do this, to range his own book alongside Aristotle's<br/>Politics and Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity, to write as if the work<br/>were written by somebody else, somebody whom he did not know.<br/>Perhaps it is unique in a private letter to a relative.* What could<br/>possibly be the point of concealing this thing, from a man who<br/>probably knew it already?<br/>Odd as it is, this statement of Locke anticipates the judgment of<br/>posterity. It was not long before it was universally recognized<br/>that Locke on Government did belong in the same class as Aristotle's<br/>Politics, and we still think of it as a book about property, in recent<br/>years especially. It has been printed perhaps a hundred times since<br/>the 1st edition appeared with the date 1690 on the title-page. It<br/>has been translated into French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish,<br/>Swedish, Norwegian and Hindi: probably into other languages<br/>too.t It is an established classic of political and social theory,<br/>perhaps not in the first fight of them all, but familiar to eight<br/>generations of students of politics all over the world, and the<br/>subject of a great body of critical literature.<br/>The prime reason for the importance attached to this book of<br/>Locke's is its enormous historical influence. We shall not be con-<br/>cerned here with the part which it played in the growth to maturity<br/>of English liberalism, or in the development of those movements<br/>which had their issue in the American Revolution, the French<br/>Revolution and their parallels in southern America, in Ireland
