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.
