Third edition of Locke's principal work of political philosophy, which first appeared in 1690. "His Treatises on Government were meant to vindicate the Convention parliament and the English revolution, as well as to refute the ideas of absolute monarchy held by Hobbes and Filmer. They are classics in the library of English constitutional law and polity, and framed the principles afterwards embodied in the American War of Independence and the French Revolution" (EB).
