Says a French writer, whose book on Locke was published in 1878, describing Locke's manners : " No other peculiarity [marked him] than an exquisite refine- ment and the rarest mixture of elegance and correctness, ease and gravity. . . . The only thing which he could not endure was bad breeding. Politeness was, in his view, more than an ornament, it was a Christian duty. " In particular, I add, Locke was possessed of that pe- culiar kind of breeding, which makes it almost a crime to know anythin...g which cannot be communicated, and especially to make display of pretended knowledge with the use of an unintelligible jargon of "uncouth" words. Locke would have everything plain and popular, fit for " well-bred company, " and he is to be looked upon as one of the first to illustrate the characteristic tendency of 180 BUITISH THOUGHT AND THINKERS. English philosophic and scientific discussion to adopt a form, as far as possible, intelligible to the average intelli- gence. Locke was, it is true, also one of the first to illus- trate the danger of this tendency the danger of forget- ting that after all it is results only, and not scientific processes of inquiry, which can always be popularized, and that for the latter a technical language or symbol- ism, and technical procedures, are necessary, which, it is true, need not be displayed in "polite conversation, " but which have their due place, and must be mastered and employed by every one who would possess more than general knowledge.
