Notes

A scarce Edinburgh printing of John Wynne's abridgment of Locke's essay. It was a regular title for the publisher, with editions in 1767, 1770, and 1778, alongside publications of the full text. None are common, and this edition is located by ESTC in just 4 locations in the UK (BL, Cambridge, Oxford, NLS) plus William and Mary in the USA and the University of Queensland.
