Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Works of Samuel Dexter Bradford, LL D
It was once the custom, on occasions of this kind, to make a selection of some distinguished name, to whom the author dedicated his work, and whose favor and protection he invoked in its behalf. When that distinguished philosopher, John Locke, Gent, had finished his great Essay concerning the Human Understanding, he dedicated it to the Right Honorable Thomas, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, with a list of other titles too long to enumerate, and he said, that, as it had grown up under his Lordship's eye, heihad a natural right to come to his Lordship for protection.
