attached. I shall be able occasionally to send you a few "notes" on
these heads, from the "household book," and, in contemplating the
remains of this unrivalled collection of its day, I can well bespeak the

BERKELEY'S THEORY OF VISION VINDICATED.

In reply to the query of "B.G." (p. 107. of your 7th No.), I beg to say
that Bishop Berkeley's _Theory of Vision Vindicated_ does not occur
either in the 4to. or 8vo. editions of his collected works; but there is
a copy of it in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, from which I
transcribe the full title as follows:--

"The Theory of Vision, or Visual Language, shewing the immediate
Presence and Providence of a Deity, vindicated and explained. By
the author of Alciphron, or The Minute Philosopher.

"Acts, xvii. 28.

"_In Him we live, and move, and have our being_.

"Lond. Printed for J. Tonson in the Strand.
