THE PRESBYTERIAN QUARTERLY AND PRINCETON REVIEW. NEW SERIES, No. 5.-JANUARY, 1873. ART. I.-BERKELEY'S PHILOSOPHY.* BY REV. JAMES MCCоSH, D.D., LL.D., President of Princeton College. THIS work has been a labor of love on the part of the editor. He has evidently spent years upon it, and we are reaping the benefit. He has taken immense pains in collating the published works of Berkeley, in searching for manuscripts, and in collecting all that can be known of the man. Much of the new matter is of no great value, as for example the letters, chiefly on business, to Mr. Prior, and his Sermous and Notes of Sermons, which are common-place enough. Others are of inestimable worth, such as his Common-Place Book, in which, as in a glass, we see the rise of his speculations. I have read it with as much interest as I felt years ago on inspecting in Dresden the first sketches which Raphael drew of his great master-pieces. The edition is already the standard one and will never be superseded. The notes of the editor, which are numerous, are sometimes simple enough, and mere repetitions of each other, but are commonly of great utility as connecting the scattered statements of his author on a particular subject. The editor's prefaces constitute a valuable introduction to the treatises. They are always anxiously thoughtful, but they do not clear up the subject. He writes as if he could, if he chose, say something decisive; but as he never chooses, one begins to doubt whether he has anything to say fitted to dispel the mystery. Prof. Fraser does not profess to be an adherent of Berkeley's philosophy, but it is evident that he is strongly prepossessed in its favor. He tells us that Berkeley * The Works of George Berkeley, by Alexander Campbell Fraser, A M., Professor of Logic and Metaphysic, in the University of Elinburgh, in four vols. |
