James Tyrrell, John Locke, and Patriarcha non Monarcha (1681)
Giambattista Vico, Eugene of Savoy and Hugo Grotius’s De jure belli ac pacis , 1719
The following article discusses an edition of Hugo Grotius’s De jure belli ac pacis (1625), issued without a place of publication or publisher in 1719. The article focuses on the claim first advanced by Dario Faucci and repeated by several others that the edition was published in Naples with the collaboration of Giambattista Vico (1668–1744).

Adam Smith on David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

The following article provides significant new evidence of John Locke’s interest in Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan (1651). The evidence derives from the collection of manuscripts amassed by the historian Thomas Birch (1705–66), the author of The History of the Royal Society of London (1756–57). Within this collection are several documents in the hand of Pierre Des Maizeaux (1672/3–1745), the Huguenot journalist and biographer. In 1718–19, Des Maizeaux…

The letters were first published in 1972 and 1973 by Michael Morrisroe, an assistant professor of English in the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle, after which they became monuments of conventional scholarship on Hume's life and writings. Both letters are cited without qualification by scholars of Hume's thought in…

This articles focuses on a significant change to the curriculum in “ethics” (moral philosophy) in the University of Naples, superintended by Celestino Galiani, the rector of the university (1732–53), and Antonio Genovesi, Galiani's protégé and the university's professor of ethics (1746–54). The article contends that Galiani's and Genovesi's sympathies lay with the form of “modern natural law” pioneered by Hugo Grotius and his followers in Norther…
