_Locke's Writings._--In an unpublished manuscript of Paley's _Lectures on
Locke's Essay_, it is stated that so great was the antipathy against the
writings of this eminent philosopher, at the time they were first issued,
that they were "burnt at Oxford by the hands of the common hangman." Is
this fact recorded in any Life of Locke; or how may it be ascertained?
There is no notice of it, I believe, in either Law's _Life_, or in that of
Lord King.
