BISHOP BEKKELEY ON THE METAPHYSICS OF 

 SENSATION. 1 



PROFESSOR, ERASER lias earned the thanks of all students 

 of philosophy for the conscientious labour which he has 

 bestowed upon his new edition of the works of Berkeley ; 

 in which, for the first time, we find collected together 

 every thought which can be traced to the subtle and 

 penetrating mind of the famous Bishop of Cloyne ; while 

 the &quot; Life and Letters &quot; will rejoice those who care less 

 for the idealist and the prophet of tar-water, than for 

 the man who stands out as one of the noblest and purest 

 figures of his time : that Berkeley from whom the jealousy 

 of Pope did not withhold a single one of all &quot; the vir 

 tues under heaven ; &quot; nor the cynicism of Swift, the 

 dignity of &quot;one of the first men of the kingdom for 

 learning and virtue ; &quot; the man whom the pious Atter- 

 bury could compare to nothing less than an angel ; and 

 whose personal influence and eloquence filled the Scrib- 

 lerus Club and the House of Commons with enthusiasm 

 for the evangelization of the North American Indians ; 



i &quot; The Works of George Berkeley, D.D., formerly Bishop of Cloyne, in 

 cluding many of his Works hitherto unpublished, with Preface, Annotations, 

 his Lite and Letters, and an Account of his Philosophy .&quot; By A. C. Fraser.
