“Adversaria 1661”
A large folio notebook containing 321 numbered leaves and 149 blank leaves.
Locke wrote “Adversaria 1661” inside the front cover. According to J. R. Milton,
the earliest entries in the book date from 1668 and was in use through at least 1669.
The notebook was formerly a part of the Lovelace Collection
and was used by Lord King in his Life of John Locke (1829). It became separated from the collection
before their acquisition by the Bodleian Library, and has remained in private hands. For a time, it was owned by Arthur O. Houghton, Jr.; it is presently in a private collection in France.
Microfilm copies are available in the Houghton Library, Harvard University (MS. Eng. 860.1) and
in the Bodleian Library (MS. Film 77).
