Part of the new material in this edition arose out of Locke's exchange with the young Irish scientist, William Molyneux, with whom he corresponded in the late 1680's and 1690's. This included the celebrated problem originally proposed by Molyneux in a letter to Locke in 1688 (first published by Locke here in Book 2): if someone born blind had learned to distinguish a globe and a cube by touch alone, and was then given sight, would that person be able to determine purely by sight which one was which? Both Locke and Molyneux thought that he or she would not. Further changes included the entire recasting of the section 'Of Power' dealing with freedom, and the addition of a new chapter 'Of Identity and Diversity', in which Locke equated personal identity with continuity of consciousness, and not with continuity of any spiritual substance.This is the second issue, with Awnsham as the printer (the first issue 'Printed for Thomas Dring...').

'The first serious treatise on aerostation as a practical possibilty'. 'Faujas de Saint-Fond, an eminent French scientist, was at once the sponsor of the Montgolfiers and their chronicler. He set on foot a subscription to repeat an experiment conducted by them in June 1783 when 'a cloud enclosed in a bag', in fact a linen globe of 105 feet circumference in which the air was heated by a straw fire, made a successful ascent at Amonay... in November when, after some tethered experiments, Pilatre de Rozier, accompanied by the Marquis d'Arlandes made the first aerial voyage in history. They ascended from the Chateau de la Muette in the Bois de Boulogne, sustained their flight for five-and-a-half miles across Paris and descended after twenty-five minutes on the outskirts of the city.' (PMM). The work is the earliest record of the flight.
