MS. Locke f. 23
A bound volume in which Locke entered medical notes, 1679-81, 1689-1695.
The date 81 is inscribed inside the front cover.
There is an index according to Lockes method of commonplacing (pp. ii-iii);
bound behind the notebook is a copy of Pharmacopoeiae Londinensis remedia (1578) with the title page missing.
The early entries are cross-referenced to MS Locke c. 42
and were probably written in 1679-81. Locke apparently left this notebook in England during his exile in Holland,
but resumed using it in 1689; the latest note (p. 120) is dated 1695.
Most of the notes are in shorthand. A number are initialed by Locke.
iv, 121 [122-224] + [225-364: the Pharmacopoeiae] + 365-370 pages;
[pages 121-224 are blank]
