17461203210002London : Dublin printed London re-printed for W. Innys C. Hitch and M. Cooper in Paternoster-Row; and C. Davis in Holborn 1746. Hardcover. Very Good. Octavo. 192 pp. Modern brown leather gilt raised bands black leather spine label. Fine binding. Minor toning scattered spotting. George Berkeley published Siris Philosophical Reflexions and inquiries concerning the virtues of tar-water and divers other subjects connected together and arising from one another. The early 1740's were a period of famine and epidemic in Ireland and there were no physicians in Berkeley's diocese. Berkeley took it upon himself to do what he could for the sick and settled upon tar-water as the best malady for the various ailments that he treated. Berkeley prepared tar-water by mixing pine tar with water allowing it to settle and then draining off the clear fluid for medicinal use. Siris which starts with a discussion of the virtues of tar-water for curing most diseases was the most popular of his books during his lifetime. It was widely read on the continent and in America and quickly went through several editions. Most of its readers however read it for its medical discussions and ignored the main subject of the book a chain of philosophical reflections that start with tar and end with the Trinity. In Siris Berkeley restated many of the tenets of the immaterialism of his youth but mixed them with even more speculative ideas drawing heavily on classical works. The end result is the most difficult of Berkeley's works to read although one with significant philosophical content. Subject; Hydrotherapy. [London] : Dublin printed, London re-printed, for W. Innys, C. Hitch, and M. Cooper, in Paternoster-Row; and C. Davis, in Holbor hardcover

When reviewing this title on 3rd June 1934 Dorothy L. Sayers sums up the plot as follows: 'A rich cynic maroons an ill-assorted generation of human vipers on a desert island informs them just for fun that one of them is an undetected murderer and sits back to enjoy their reactions. The first reaction very rightly is the murder of the cynic; after which Roger Sheringham has to grapple with the reactions to that.' Anthony Berkeley Cox 1893 - 1971 is today recognized as a key figure in the development of crime fiction. He wrote under several pen-names including Francis Iles Anthony Berkeley and A. Monmouth Platts. He was educated at Sherborne School and University College Oxford. He served in the British Army during the First World War and worked as a journalist for many years contributing to such magazines as Punch and The Humorist. 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. Several of his books were adapted for the screen including "Before the Fact" adapted by Alfred Hitchcock as "Suspicion" starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine. Doubleday, Doran & Co.
