During a brief visit to America Berkeley treated many conditions with tar water from asthma to rheumatism and dysentery, he came to endorse it as a cure all and began manufacturing it. This work details the medicinal virtues of tar-water followed by his thoughts on the philosophy of Plato. He became bishop of Cloyne in his native Ireland, and earned renown for his works in the philosphy of perception.

8vo, 174, [2]pp; later morocco and marbled boards. De-accessioned from the American Antiquarian Society, with the AAS stamp on the title page and initials on the spine. Among Bishop Berkeley's last works, this series of "reflexions" touts the medieval remedy of tar-water, made from pine tar steeped in cold water, for prevention of all manner of ailments from digestive disorders and kidney stones to scurvy, distemper, smallpox and other illnesses. Wear to a small portion of the upper corners of the first fifty-four pages, as if nibbled by a small rodent, (less offensive than it sounds); a short marginal tear and library stamp to title page; small, neat, marginal notations; small abrasion to the front endpaper; joints and edges rubbed.
