Recensione:

'The Continuum Companion is encyclopaedic not just in format but in range... The editors have assembled a truly international team of scholars capable of writing authoritatively about topics as diverse as Socinianism and the reform of the coinage... This volume is indeed a generally faithful companion to Locke studies which even serious scholars will be glad to have by their side.' --British Journal for the History of Philosophy, 2011
