Berkeley, George (Bishop):
A New Theory of Vision and Other Select Philosophical Writings
London: J. M. Dent; New York: E. P. Dutton,
1926 [1910]
A.D. Lindsay (ed.)
Reading traces on: 128, 129, 130, 137, 138, 141, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 153, 156, 157, 158, 162, 164, 180, 184, 185, 186, 187, 189, 193, 245, 246, 248, 266, 274, 275, 282.
Notes:
Berkeley's Commonplace Book also contains marginalia and markings in green pencil; reference to Geulincx for these particular notes suggests a dating of 1936 or later, unless taken from Windelband, which would make this earlier.

Berkeley, George (Bishop):
Berkeley's Commonplace Book
London:
Faber,
1930
G. A. Johnston (ed.)
Reading traces on: 4, 6, 9, 10.
Notes:
- Letter to Thomas MacGreevy 23 [April] 1933 (LSB I 154): 'Mindful of Alfieri I tried to read Plutarch, but in vain. Mindful of Alfieri! And Berkeley's Commonplace Book, which Hone recommended as a beginning, and which is full of profound things, and at the same time of a foul (& false) intellectual canaillerie, enough to put you against reading anything more.'
- Cf. also Berkeley's A New Theory of Vision, which also contains marginalia and markings in green pencil.
