Monmouth Platts. He was educated at Sherborne School and University College Oxford.

His first novel was published in 1925 and it introduced the amateur detective Robert Sheringham who would feature in many of his novels through 1934. In 1930 Berkeley founded the Detection Club in London along with Agatha Christie Freeman Wills Crofts Dorothy L. Sayers Hugh Walpole and other established mystery writers.

1744ref. 158069London: For W. Innys and C. Hitch and C. Davis 1744. Second London edition first published in Dublin and London earlier the same year. The work was in his lifetime by far Berkeley's most popular book. Berkeley was interested in the therapeutic properties of an infusion of tar in water and the first part of the book is indeed on the subject but he then "passes by imperceptible stages from physical to metaphysical arguments until he is fairly launched upon a general discussion of Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy. The book is written with compelling lucidity and charm and is one of Berkeley's major works though his last substantial treatise. Siris was by far his most popular work by reason of its containing a supposed remedy for most human ills the efficacy and cheapness of which was so convincingly urged by the author confidence in it being strengthened by the fact that he had experimented first upon himself. Berkeley confessed that this work caused him more thought and research than any other he had ever been engaged in" Keynes p. 116 & vi. The popularity of the work led to a series of Dublin and London editions in quick succession. This edition includes the corrections made by the author to the second Dublin edition. Octavo 196 x 116 mm. Twentieth-century quarter calf spine lettered in gilt marbled sides. Light toning to contents with a couple of ink splashes; a very good copy.

Berkeley is known as an advocate of subjective idealism which he called immaterialism which states that objects do not exist unless they are perceived. "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge 1710 is the classic exposition of his philosophy of immaterialism as an antidote to infidelity prefaced with an influential essay in the philosophy of language; part two was later lost in manuscript with other papers in Italy." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Perhaps his most well-known work is Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous in which two characters representing himself and John Locke discuss various philosophical questions. Berkeley was a fellow at Trinity College and in the 1720s turned his attention to the project of opening St. Paul's College in Bermuda though skepticism about the chances of success in this endeavor caused the funding to come into question. "To prevent a threatening decline in private support Berkeley sailed for Newport Rhode Island with a small advance party on 6 September 1728; this included Smibert who painted several well-known portraits of Berkeley and of his party before settling for life in Boston. The journey was hazardous and protracted. They made an unscheduled landfall on the Virginia coast about the turn of the year and were officially received at Williamsburg before reaching Rhode Island on 23 January 1729. By the spring Berkeley had bought a farm of 96 acres at Middletown 'with two fine groves and winding rivulet upon it' Works 8.194 whose produce would support the college. He employed slaves and was apparently indifferent to the institution of slavery provided that it was humane seeing the moral need rather as one of conversion and baptism. He built a new house Whitehall which is now maintained as a historic site although the adjoining farmland has given way to urban development. Berkeley often preached at Newport Rhode Island in the winter and in remoter outposts in the summer. The strongest and longest friendship he established among New England churchmen was with Samuel Johnson 1696 - 1772 of Stratford Connecticut a refugee from Calvinism who later became first president of King's College New York later Columbia University and lent support to Berkeley's philosophy through his Elementa philosophica 1752 and other writings. Throughout his career Berkeley had little time for dissenters although he abhorred the use of violence against them. The religious tolerance characteristic of Rhode Island induced a degree of ecumenicism in his social practice that was not always maintained in the pulpit. Reports of growing infidelity in English society to which he was always liable to give credence were fuelled by the continuing bad faith of the government in failing to lodge the funds he considered legally his. This was a factor in his writing Alciphron a set of dialogues located notionally in England but drawing much of the landscape description from Rhode Island which was to sell well and stimulate controversy after his return. In this theist and immaterialist combine their defences against a medley of intellectual trends derived primarily but not exclusively from Locke Bernard Mandeville and the third earl of Shaftesbury that Berkeley regarded as obstructive to religion. The work includes Berkeley's second foray into moral philosophy." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Printed for J. Tonson in the Strand hardcover

ref. PB14Oblong Quarto album 132x209 cm. 50 paper album leaves two blank. With ca. 227 mounted original gelatin silver photographs from ca. 84x84 cm 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ in to 25x36 cm 1 x 1 ½ in. No captions. Period brown cloth album fastened with a string; gilt-tooled generic title “Photographs” on the front cover. Edges worn mild silvering of the photos but overall a very good album with strong interesting photos. Interesting collection of 227 lively original photos of California likely taken by a local male resident during leisure outings with family and friends including early views of San Francisco San Bruno Santa Cruz and Dixon. About forty identified photographs show California landmarks with ca. ten rare images of Fort Bragg a former lumber hub in Mendocino County. Fort Bragg established in 1857 as a military garrison was soon transformed into a logging town with the support of the Union Lumber Company est. in 1891. In its prime Fort Bragg was a business center and the primary supplier of lumber for San Francisco’s post-1906 earthquake reconstruction. By the 1960s as accessible timber dwindled the town gradually shifted toward tourism. The early well-executed views of Fort Bragg show the Union Lumber Company’s lumber mill logging operations water tower log ponds and a nearby lake. The other photos from the “landmark” series document the now-demolished Newton J. Tharp Commercial School 1908–1952 in San Francisco the Tanforan Racetrack 1899–1964 in San Bruno the Sather Tower built in 1914 at the University of California Berkeley the Second Grammar School in Dixon built in 1911 demolished in 1958 and California’s oldest surviving amusement park the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk established in 1907. There are also about ten photographs of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition featuring the now-lost Service Building Tower of Jewels Court of the Universe and Court of Abundance. The album also contains lively images of significant historical moments in California including the 1908 explosion at the Standard Oil Company in Riverside one of the first airplane flights in Northern California and one of the state’s earliest automobile races at Tanforan Park in 1910. The other interesting photos include private photographs of the travelers posing by cars picnicking fishing horseback riding images of Silver Lake with cottages and camps topographers at work with alidade and plane tables steam trains railway tracks tunnels rugby matches at Stanford and a graduation ceremony at Stockton High School. Overall historically interesting extensive album with rare early views of California. hardcover
