Not illustrated. 1809 edition. Excerpt: ...glory, great Locke, will be yours, When ranging o'er infinite space, Through time that for ever endures The spirit's whole essence you trace! If a thought (but it never can be) Recal your poor wand'rings below, With what shame, with what awe will you see How little man's wisdom can know.
