I request , to this affair , as something about which I am anxious . For the recantation , ( Valino&ia , ) in your last , of 7 th November , I thank you much . It every where proceeds
in the same tenor . I find , indeed , from the Frenchmen among us , something like it which may excel it , all things considered . But more of these things at another time , if you desire it , for my letter is already too long .
I wrote to our friend Le Clerc fifteen days , and to Guennelon ten days since .. I hope that by this time every difference is amicably settled in that family , to whom I wish all happiness . To those and the rest of my friends ,
especially to your excellent wife and your , children , pray present my most respectful compliments , and stiJl regard me as Yours , most affectionately , J . LOCKE .

... . In July , 1692 , commenced the correspondence between Mr * Locke and Mr . Mblyneux , of Dublin , which extended through the six following years , and forms the English part of the Familiar Letters *
Mr . Locke had now published , anonymously , his " Third Letter concerning Toleration . ' The following extract from a MS . letter to Mr . Cflarke , dated 28 th November , 1692 , will shew the friends to whom he presented it .
« t must beg you to send again for jyTn ^ Churchill , [ the bookseller , ] and let tjijp write down from you these names , Halley , Newton , Sommers , Popple , Le Clerc , Furly , Wright , Freke and Firmin , but to none of them as from me . " There had been
added , but afterwards cancelled , Treby andKen * lti titiis same year , 1692 , Dec . 9 , Mr . " tocke wrote to Mr . Clarke a letter , the following passages of which discover sentiments and rules' of con * duct worthy of a place among these memorials of the writer .
** I roust beg you the first time you see my Lord 4 Bellamont , with my humble service to assure his Lordship , that his commands will , in all cases , have that weight and authority with me , •* to dispose of all the power I have far his service . That , therefore , to enable me to serve him on the

present occasion , I desire his Lordship to send me Mr . Stanley * * name and qualifications , and the place heisndw ia in the Court , and whatever he thinks may recommend him to my Lord P . For this is an inviolable rule which I
always do , and always shall observe , in recommending any person that I say what I know myself of them , and whatever is beyond my own knowledge I always tell upon what report
and credit it is that I say it so , that I shall be sure to vouch my Lord Bellamont ' s testimony , which cannot but be better than mine for a person whom I am so little acquainted with , as 1 have . the honour to be with Mr .
Stanley . " People generally think that if one has an interest any ; where , oae may use it as one pleases * whereas , I think one has it and preserves it only by a fair and cautious use of it . If my Lord B , would reflect upon what 1 have
said , and my way of proceeding , which I never do or shall vary from , he would see it would be of no great advantage to the business to semi his recommendation of the case to my Lord P . round about by my hand ,
and therefore , if you can put him off from sending me on so silly an errand , you may remind him that I used the same method in recommending Mr . La Treille to Sir James Rushout , and that you know 1 will not , nor can an honest man vary from it . "

address , which he dictated , and transmit the letter to you ; an office which I readily undertook . He also gave me a volume of sermons , which he ha » lately published , to send to you . This I will take care to dq by the first safe conveyance . So much for the Arch * bishop ' s commissions .
