Paper read before the Royal Society of Literature on the occasion of the Turson Tenery of the birth of John Locke with some supplementary notes, part one. A good portrait of Locke would require an elaborate background. His is not a figure to stand statuoscally in a void. A pose might not seem grand enough for bronze or marble. Rather, he should be painted in the manner of the Dutch Masters. In a sunny interior, scrupulously finished with all the implements of domestic comfort and philosophic inquiry. The Holy Bible opened majestically before him, and beside it, that other revelation, the terrestrial globe. His hand might be pointing to a microscope set for examining the internal constitution of a beetle. But for the moment, his eye should be seen wandering through the open window to admire the blessings of thrift and liberty manifest in the people so worthily busy in the marketplace, wrong as many a monkish notion might be that still troubled their poor heads. From them, his enlarged thoughts would easily pass to the stout carved ships in the river beyond. Intrepidly setting sail for the Indies or for savage America. Yes, he too had traveled, and not only in thought. He knew how many strange nations and false religions lodged in this round earth, itself but a speck in the universe. There were few ingenious authors that he had not pursued or philosophical instruments.
