Note 834 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

The Third Report (1872) of the Commission on Historical Manuscripts (p. xi.) says: “In April, 1871, the Earl of Shaftesbury signified his wish to present his valuable collection of manuscripts to the Public Record Office. These papers have been arranged and catalogued by Mr. Sainsbury.” The same Report (p. 216) contains Mr. Alfred J. Horwood’s account of these papers, the ninth section of which is described as comprising letters and papers about Carolina, and many letters and abstracts of letters in Locke’s handwriting. Cf. Charleston Year Book, 1884, p. 167.
