Two weird detective novelettes from the pulp magazine, Detective-Dragnet. These were early examples of a growing trend toward weird detective stories in the pulps in the early '30s. Cult of the Corpses involves a murderous voodoo cult on the loose in Manhattan; Dealers in Death involves the machinations of a contract killer who specializes in the art of undetectable murder. Both are well-written, entertaining stories, reprinted here for the first time since 1931. Also included is an exploration of the weird detective trend; and a portrait of the little-known pulp writer, Maxwell Hawkins.

John Locke's untitled manuscript "Questions Concerning the Law of Nature" (1664) was his only work focused on the subject of natural law, a circumstance that is especially surprising since his published writings touch on the subject frequently, if inconclusively. Containing a substantial apparatus criticus, this new edition of Locke's manuscript is faithful to Locke's original intentions.

John Locke (29 August 1632 - 28 October 1704) was an English philosopher. Locke is considered the first of the British Empiricists, but is equally important to social contract theory. His ideas had enormous influence on the development of epistemology and political philosophy, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers, classical republicans, and contributors to liberal theory.

..". J'ai ete si souvent consulte, dans ces derniers temps, par des personnes qui declaraient ne pas savoir comment elever leurs enfants, et, d'autre part, la corruption de la jeunesse est devenue un sujet si universel de lamentations, qu'il me semble qu'on ne saurait taxer d'impertinente l'entreprise de celui qui appelle sur ce sujet l'attention du public et qui propose quelques reflexions personnelles sur la matiere, dans l'intention d'exciter les efforts des autres et de provoquer les critiques. Car c'est en fait d'education que les erreurs meritent le moins d'etre excusees. Comme les...

" La lettre suivante, sur la Tolerance, imprimee d'abord en latin, cette meme annee (1689), a deja ete traduite en hollandais et en francais. Une approbation si prompte et si generale peut donc garantir d'avance l'accueil favorable qu'elle recevra en Angleterre. Je crois bien, a dire le vrai, qu'il n'y a pas de nation au monde chez laquelle on ait autant ecrit sur ce sujet que chez la notre. Mais assurement aussi, il n'y a pas de peuple ou l'on ait encore autant besoin de dire et de faire, sur cet article, quelque chose de plus qu'on ne l'a fait parmi nous... ...

C'est un etat de parfaite liberte, un etat dans lequel, sans demander de permission a personne, et sans dependre de la volonte d'aucun autre homme, ils peuvent faire ce qu'il leur plait, et disposer de ce qu'ils possedent et de leurs personnes, comme ils jugent a propos, pourvu qu'ils se tiennent dans les bornes de la loi de la Nature..."
