'The editorial work here has been done in exemplary fashion.
Nidditch's aim was to provide a perspicuous representation both of
the form and of the content of the text being edited, thus meeting
the disparate and indeed often conflicting needs of the
paleographical scholar and the reader interested in the author's
opinions. There is no doubt that Nidditch has, with Rogers's help,
succeeded admirably in realizing this double objective in the case
of Locke's
drafts.'

'the on-going Clarendon Edition of The Works of John Lockle, which
has finally brought readers a reliable and affordable edition of
Locke's Essay, edited by Peter Nidditch ... Most of us would wish
such a scholarly epitaph for ouselves, especially since ... this
edition established and sustained the most elaborate and exacting
editorial protocols. The Correspondence of John Locke thus stands
perhaps foremost among a number of
distinguished editions of Restoration authors.'
