- W178926173 abstract "a LTHOUGH John Locke's reputation rests chiefly on his well-known /' works on philosophy, politics, toleration, religion and education, he Л jLalso published three pamphlets on money, namely Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest, and Raising the Value of Money. In a Letter to a Member of Parliament (1692), Short Observations on a Printed Paper, Intituled, For Encouraging the Coining Silver Money in England, and after for keeping it here (1695), and Further Considerations concerning Raising the Value of Money. Wherein Mr. Lowndes's Arguments for it in his late Report concerning An Essay for the Amendment of the Silver Coins, are particularly Examined (1695). In 1696 a single volume containing second editions of all three pamphlets was brought out under the title, Several Papers relating to Money, Interest and Trade, c.1 These pamphlets were concerned with two important monetary issues of the day, namely the reduction of the legal rate of interest, and the proposal to alter the standard of the silver money,2 both of which Locke strongly opposed. If we ignore the disputed question of his share in the production of the Letter from a Person of Quality (1675), these works on money were Locke's only venture into the field of ephemeral publication. In each instance their appearance was closely linked with events in the House of Commons, and these essays in Parliamentary propaganda are the most conspicuous evidence of Locke's political activities in the decade. The pamphlets on money also serve to bring out an aspect of Locke's character that is often neglected, namely his intense patriotism and his strong sense of duty to the public interest, without which they might never have appeared. In the publication of each of these pamphlets Locke was much influenced by the opinions of two friends, Sir John Somers, the famous lawyer and Whig Leader, and Edward Clarke, a less prominent politician but a more intimate friend. In this paper, however, it is intended to concentrate on points of bibliographic interest arising from those editions of the pamphlets, which were published in Locke's lifetime. The fact that in the case of these pamphlets, almost alone among the works which he himself had printed, Locke neglected to prepare corrected texts' for publication after his death, gives an added importance to" @default.
