This book gives a complete account of all that Locke saw, did and
heard during his four years in France. The entries vary from
laconic jottings to detailed accounts - full of colour and wit - of
life in Paris and the provinces. Locke's variety of interests
presents a vivid and thorough account of France at that time. He
observed and recorded the absolutism of Louis XIV and the poverty
of the peasants, the growing persecution of the Protestants and the
external manifestations of Catholicism, recent developments in
science and technology - even agricultural methods and the system
of taxes. So that this is a book for the general reader as well as
for the student of Locke, the social historian and the historian of
science.
