..."it is a genuine pleasure to state that here for once is a
volume that is truly a consummation of a lifetime's work and that
really will be the definitive book in its field for many years to
come....the publishers have made the presentation as good in its
way as the contents: which is high praise indeed."Ian Harris--"The
British Journal for the History of Philosophy
"Jean Yolton's bibliography of John Locke, completed over a period
of more than twenty years, is based on an examination of an
unprecedented number of copies of Locke's works in major libraries
and private collections all over Europe and north America. The
result is the most comprehensive bibliographical examination
accorded any major English-speaking philosopher, the publication of
which will mark a landmark in both Locke scholarship and
bibliographical research."--G.A.J. Rogers, Editor, "British Journal
for the History of Philosophy
Cette monumentale bibliographie, commencee en 1975, ne peut que
forcer l'admiration. Offrant pour la premiere fois une description
detaillee et systematique de toutes les editions et traductions des
oeuvres de Locke entre 1654 et 1800, elle sera desormais
incontournable pour tout travail serieux sur l'histoire de la
pensee du philosophe anglais.
...sur cette piste de recherche, la bibliographie de Jean Yolton
constitue une etape non seulement precieuse, mais tout simplement
necessaire.
Jorn Schosler--"Canadian Philosophical Review
It is difficult to imagine a book of more use to Locke scholarship
than Jean S. Yolton's "John Locke: A Descriptive Bibliography...As
a reference tool, however, Yolton's bibliography will become the
standard guide.--Mark G. Spencer,"Eighteenth-Century Studies Volume
34, Number 4, Summer 2001
This hugely detailed analytic and descriptive bibliography
documents John Locke's works published from 1654 through
1800.
Jean Yolton is a professional librarian who was a cataloguer at the
Robarts Library of the University of Toronto, and Rare Books
Cataloguer at the Van Pelt Library, University of Pennsylvania. She
and her husband, John, are recognized as leading Locke scholars and
have, between them, published a variety of books on Locke,
including their authoritative work, "Locke: A Reference Guide and a
critical edition of "Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education
(1989). Jean is also editor of "A Locke Miscellany (1990).
Compiled by Jean S. Yolton over the last twenty years, it includes
the publishing history of all known editions and translations, as
well as material published in journals, and posthumous materials
whenever published. Separate sections are devoted to a chronology
of Locke's life, with special emphasis on dates of composition and
publication; doubtful and false attributions of his authorship; a
brief listing of criticism through 1800; and numerous indexes. The
enormous research includes the study of copies in some seventy-five
libraries in the British Isles, Europe and North America; exemplars
on record at other libraries, chiefly in the former East Germany,
are also recorded.
