Excerpt from The Two-Hundredth Birthday of Bishop George Berkeley: A Discourse Given at Yale College on the 12th of March, 1885

The substance of the following discourse was given at Yale College on the 12th of March, 1885, in commemoration of the 200th birthday of the distinguished and excellent Berkeley. Most of the materials were taken from the elaborate "Life and Letters" by Professor Alexander Campbell Fraser, M.A., Oxford, 1871; and the more brief but excellent sketch by the same author in Knights "Philosophical Classics," Edinburgh, 1881. The design of the writer was to present in a compact and somewhat popular form the most important facts in Berkeley's history, that he might do something to keep his memory fresh and fragrant in the minds of studious and thoughtful men and women of the present generation.
