## The fact

Do not treat 1693 as the 1689 Essay. Do not treat Gutenberg HTML as 1693 type. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. John Locke's documented role is: He revised letters to Edward Clarke into a printed education book. Clarke had asked; Awnsham Churchill printed; Locke wrote the public text.
