Abstract

Roland Hall, who died in May of this year aged 87, founded the Locke Newsletter (now Locke Studies) in 1970 and edited it for the next 42 years. It is in this capacity that he is best known today. Other aspects of his life are not so well known. As a philosopher his interests and accomplishments embraced much besides Locke. He enjoyed a second, parallel career as a highly-respected lexicographer, working as a consultant and contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary. After the Second World War, at a relatively young age, he played a significant supporting role in a major war crimes trial. This appreciation of his life says something about each of these aspects of it and sheds new light on Hall and his achievements.
