1732réf. GEN2-D-1London: J Roberts 1732. Cloth. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. An interesting and scarce text reviewing George Berkeley's text. The work is a letter whereby an English clergyman is writing to his London friend on his views of Alciphron or The Minute Philosopher. This is the second edition of this text. The Minute Philosopher is a philosophical dialogue by Irish philosopher George Berkeley. In this work he combats the arguments of the free-thinkers such as Mandeville and Shaftesbury against the Christian religion. The work was first published in 1732 the same year that this review was published. Although there is not an author attributed to the title page it was later known that the title was written by John Hervey or 2nd Baron Hervey of Ickworth. John Hervey was an English courtier political writer and memoirist. He was known for writing very brutally frank works such as his memoirs of the court of George II where he gave a very unflattering account of the King and Frederick Prince of Wales.

1794réf. 20010London:: for A.Law W.Miller and T.Martin 1794. 8vo. 2 vols. in 1. A-P6; ¹2A-O6. Contemporary calf rebacked. Gilt lettering on spine. Some minor browning. 2 engraved frontispieces. Hervey 1714-1758. "While in Devonshire he planned and probably began his ÔMeditations among the Tombs.Õ An excursion to Kilkhampton from Bideford is said to have been the occasion of his laying the scene of the ÔMeditationsÕ among the tombs of that place.Hervey's writings were for a long time exceedingly popular. His first work was entitled ÔMeditations and Contemplations.Õ The first volume containing ÔMeditations among the TombsÕ ÔReflections on a Flower GardenÕ and ÔA Descant upon CreationÕ was published in February 1745-6 and the second containing ÔContemplations on the NightÕ ÔContemplations on the Starry HeavensÕ and a ÔWinter PieceÕ appeared in 1747. These volumes are filled with truisms expressed in the most inflated language but were admired by educated persons and even superseded to a great extent such a powerful work as Law's ÔSerious Call.Õ The explanation may in part be found in Hervey's sympathy with the principles of the evangelical revival and partly in a true appreciation of the beauties of nature very rare in his time. If he had condescended to write plain English many of his descriptions would have been pleasing. " -DNB.ESTC lists only one copy of this edition. ESTC N67119 Only 1 copy listed.

Rhijnvis Feith als dichter van Het graf Assen 1963 p.50; De la Fontaine Verwey De illustratie van letterkundige werken in de XVIIIe eeuw Amsterdam 1934 pp.70 Fontaine Verwey cat. p.151 De parochiegeestelijke James Hervey 1714-1758 behoorde in Engeland tot de vroegste aanhangers van de methodisten een beweging binnen het protestantisme die een terugkeer beoogde naar een echt-christelijke levenswijze. Zijn boeken waren ongelooflijk populair: toen hier in 1754 de 'Godvruchtige overdenkingen' verscheen was in Engeland de 'Meditations among the Tombs' 1746 al aan zijn elfde druk toe. Ook in Nederland maakte Herveys preekstoel-proza plechtstatig en overladen met beeldspraak gedurende enige tijd grote indruk: na deze derde verscheen al in 1762 nog een vierde druk. De prenten zijn gemaakt in de voor Fokke kenmerkende levendige stijl. L0277 hardcover
