Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Querist
The original edition of the querist, which may be seen in the collections of the Royal Irish Academy, is very scarce. It consists of three parts, published anonymously with a Dublin imprint in 1735 and the two following years. An anonymous English edition, also in three parts, and now equally rare, was issued almost simultaneously. Three other editions were published in Berkeley's lifetime. The book reappeared in 1750, in London, with the author's name on the title page, and with his Word to the Wise appended. There was a similar Glasgow edition in I 751. In I 752, the year before his death, Berkeley included his tract on Irish economics in a collection of various pamphlets, entitled Miscellany.
