Description:Excerpt from The Correspondence of George Berkeley Afterwards Bishop of Cloyne and Sir John Percival, Afterwards Earl of Egmont This volume contains the hitherto unpublished correspondence George Berkeley, afterwards Bishop of Cloyne, and Sir John Percival, afterwards Earl of Egmont. The collection of manuscripts from which the correspondence was taken is in possession of the Right Honourable the Earl of Egmont. This collection was originally made by the first Earl of Egmont largely to serve as material for a history of the Percival family, that appeared in 1742 under the title of 'A Genealogical History of the House of Yvery.' Those portions of the collection relating to Berkeley and Percival comprised in this present volume are found in the nine volumes of 'Letter-books, ' 1697 - 1731, the twelve volumes of the 'Journal of Percival, ' 1731 - 1747, and the seven volumes of 'Original Letters, ' 1740 - 1751. The copied letters which passed between Berkeley and Percival from the 12th of September, 1709, to the 15th of December, 1730, scattered through the 'Letter-books, ' form the bulk of the present volume. The 'Journal of Percival, ' which began in 1731, shortly before the time the 'Letter-books' end, yield various memoranda showing the continuance of the friendly relations between them in the later years of their lives. The two letters signed by Berkeley as the Bishop of Cloyne, and the two by Kene Percival, are taken from the 'Original Letters' of the Egmont collection. Some account of the Egmont collection is given in the 'Appendix to the Seventh Report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts' (pp. 232 - 249), printed in 1879.
