  Peter Laslett's edition of Locke's Two Treatises of Government is widely recognised as one of the classic pieces of recent scholarship in the history of ideas, and has been read and used by students of politcal theory throughout the world. Dr. Laslett demonstrated that the version usually cited was in no way a representation of that 'text for posterity' Locke left behind, and exhaustive analysis of Lock's private papers and personal library caused Dr. Laslett radically to alter the received notion that the Two Treatises were in any sense a rationalization of the events of 1688: Locke's texts were rather a call for a revolution yet to come.
