(Authoriy ; EG Res. 200 dated 27th August 1996) The Works of George Berkeley Bishop of Cloyne Edited by A A Luce and T E Jessop Volume Two The Principles of Human Knowledge first Draft of the Introduction to the Principles Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous Philosophical Correspondence with Johnson Edited by T E Jessop Ferens Professor of Philosophy in the University College of Hull Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd London Edinburgh Paris Melbourne Toronto and New York THOMAS NELSON AND SONS LTD Parkside Works Edinburgh 9 3 Henrietta Street Loudon WC2 3 12 Flinders Street Melbourne Ci Thomas Nelson and Sons (Canada) Ltd 91-93 'Wellington Street West Toronto i Thomas Nelson and Sons 385 Madison Avenue New York 17 Soa±T& Fuan^aisb D’EDmoNS Nelson 25 rue Henri Barbusse Paris V® First published EDITOR’S PREFACE This volume contains Berkeley’s two chief philosophical works. Judged by the criteria of originality of thought and quality of expression, both of them are masterpieces, and therefore entitled to the tribute of a scrupulously edited text. In each case the text of Berkeley’s own last edition has been reproduced, and aH variants (except those of spelling and punctuation) in the earlier edition or editions have been noted at the foot of the page. In the apparatus criticus the following abbreviations have be,en used : Principles of Human Knowledge A = 1710 ed. B =1734 ed. MS. = MS. of Sects. 85-145 Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous A = 1713 ed. B = 1725 ed. C = 1734 ed. All footnotes to the texts not enclosed in square brackets are Berkeley’s. The editorial notes are as few, and the expository Introductions as short, as I can make them, for hitherto Berkeley has been read far too little, and his expositors far too much. Of the two other pieces in this volume, the first draft of the Introduction to the Principles will probably be examined only by specialized students, but the correspondence with Johnson, all too brief, should interest every reader of the major works.
