Berkeley and Percival: The Correspondence of George Berkeley and Sir John Percival

First published in 1914, this book contains the correspondence between the philosopher George Berkeley (1685–1753), afterwards Bishop of Cloyne, and Sir John Percival (1711–70), later Earl of Egmont, from 1709 until Berkeley's death. The letters reflect the growing affection between these two important figures in Anglo-Irish history, and give intimate first-person accounts of the events of each man's life and career. Extracts from Percival's journal and a biographical note on the lives, careers and friendship of both men are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in eighteenth-century Anglo-Irish politics.
