Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Bishop Berkeley "Of the exquisite grace and beauty of Berkeley´s diction, no man accustomed to English composition need to be informed. His works are, beyond dispute, the finest models of philosophical style since Cicero. Perhaps they surpass those of the orator in the wonderful art by which the fullest light is thrown on the most minute and evanescent parts of the most subtile of human conceptions." - Sir James Mackintosh. "So much understanding, so much knowledge, so much innocence, and such humility, I did not think had been the portion of any but angels, till I saw this gentleman." - Atterbury. "When Shaftesbury, in phrases of studied eloquence, was advocating a modified Platonic system, and Bishop Sherlock represented the eloquence of the Church; when Swift´s pungent satire ruled in politics, and Pope´s finished couplets were the exemplars of poetry; when Sir Robert Walpole´s ministry and Queen Caroline´s levees were the civic and social features of the day, there moved in the circles of literature, of state, and of religious fellowship, one of those men to whom, by virtue of their guileless spirit and ingenuous minds, their sweet repose of character, gentle manners, and speculative tendency, we instinctively give the name of philosophers." - Tuckerman´s Biographical Essays.
