Not enough background annotation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Social Contract: Essays by Locke, Hume, and Rousseau (Paperback)
This are great works important in the history of political philosophy. But this particular edition does not give as many footnotes as it should, to explain refrences to Classical literature, and certain Latin phrases that students of today may not be familiar with. Still, it combiners three influentional political essays in one covenient volume.
