Tar water was a medicine used since the Middle Ages composed of pine or birch tar. Its use spread in 18th-century England. Berkeley describes for the first time its use in a wide variety of cases and wonders whether it might not be the universal panacea. He extrapolates as to its efficacy from a study of mind and soul of which ether would be the divine instrument and the thing that binds beings together. Tar water would be used in various forms until the end of the 19th century. Bergson particularly appreciated the philosophical qualities of the treatise. Chez Pierre Mortier unknown

Minor toning scattered spotting. <br><br> 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.

1732170650London: Printed by J. Tonson 1732. The idealist philosopher's most substantial work First edition of Berkeley's defence of traditional Anglicanism against the nascent secularism of the early Enlightenment: a major work of 18th-century Christian apologetics. Alciphron is a critical source for Berkeley's wider philosophy of language. Berkeley 1685-1753 defends the Theist position that the world is dependent on an interventionist God providing religious knowledge through miracles and divine revelation. Enlightenment thinkers increasingly argued that a non-interventionist deity had created the universe to operate autonomously on machine-like principles and laws. In such a scenario the miracles and revelations of an interventionist God were of little use as a source of religious knowledge which was possible only through rational reflection. In challenging these ideas Berkeley collectively represents their chief exponents Locke Mandeville and the third Earl of Shaftesbury as the conceited free thinkers Alciphron and Lysicles. Volume II includes a revised edition of Berkeley's An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision first published in 1709 with a new title page and continuous register. In the Advertisement Berkeley notes that his earlier work is included as an addendum to the fourth dialogue which concerns the function of the senses in deriving knowledge of God. 2 vols octavo 194 x 120 mm.
