‎Autograph Letter Signed Jamaica Plain Massachusetts March 15 1836 to his sister Mary Louisa Locke New Ipswich New Hampshire‎

‎<p>quarto two pages plus stamp-less address leaf in very good clean condition.</p><p> Locke writes:</p><p> "… in case I get any money for I am distressingly short just now … I have provided myself with a ticket for the Roxbury Lyceum course of lectures which began last evening. Introductory by Mr. Webster on popular education. It was a very good one but the views were not sound. He attributed the general increase of popular knowledge to the application of science… and to general use of labor saving machines or rather as he called them <u>Labordoing</u> machines which by doing up the work afford much time for the improvement of the mind. He then went on to state that the more of these things the better and advocate the encouragement of monopolies and corporations for the purpose of carrying on all sorts of Business manufactures and machinery operations – Now that is just the trouble with his whig principles. The poor man forgot to mention that in England the land of monopolies and of corporations and of capital and of Laboring machines the poorer laboring classes are in a far less agreeable situation than the same are with us. How ignorant and degraded are they in comparison to ours. Poor man he forgot that in the land where his favorite system is in the fullest operation there its effect which sounds so well in theory in practice has a most unfavorable effect. Webster knows better than to stick so closely to the miserable English system of Political Economy He does it all to compliment the Boston people…"</p> Little is known about the astute 21 year-old writer whose life was sadly short. Born in Fitzwilliam New Hampshire he came to Massachusetts to care for a farm owned by his family. Less than ten years later he died in Arkansas at age 29. As for Daniel Webster his 1836 speech at Roxbury may have been a rehearsal for an address he delivered two years later on the floor of the United States Senate in which he lauded Massachusetts as the most "highly civilized society" on earth with the greatest "equality in the condition of men" all of whom might be called "aristocrats". He also praised science for "creating millions of laborers in the form of machines all but automatic" surely one of the earliest American tribute to automation in the era of the British Luddites. books‎

The first American complete edition an abridged version having been published in Boston in 1794. Folding table at front. 3 vols. 12mo. In 18th century America as it was the age of reason and Enlightenment the colonists needed the justification or rationalization of their disagreement and resultant actions with England citing their immutable rights as Englishmen and quoting the basic English institutions. As the "philosopher of the Enlightenment" Locke's theories and writings were seized upon by the colonists especially with Locke's "doctrine of natural rights" his theories on "life liberty and property" religious toleration and proper representation in government. His writings gave the colonist a firm foundation upon which to base many of their statements. To Locke goes much of the credit for many of the ideas forming the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted by George Mason. Many of the other states used that constitution as a basis for their own. Locke's advocacy of a "laissez faire" economic policy was shared by Jefferson who agreed with the idea that the "government is best which governs least" Cohen "American Thought" p. 132. The conclusion reached in the "Essay" "that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be 'sufficient'; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can of some extent control our own destiny" summarizes American intent and beliefs.
