BIRTHPLACE OF LOCKE.

(_To the Editor._)


The philosopher was born in the room lighted by the upper window on the
right, in your Engraving No. 487. It is a small, plain apartment, having
few indications of former respectability.

In the garden of Barley Wood, near Wrington, the residence of the
religious and sentimental Hannah More, stands an urn commemorative
of Locke, the gift of Mrs. Montague, with the following inscription:


To
JOHN LOCKE,
Born in this village.
This memorial is erected
by
Mrs. Montague,
and presented to
HANNAH MORE.
