3 This letter is missing from every edition of Berkeley's correspondence, including the most recent (The Works of George Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne, ed. Luce, A. A. and Jessop, T. E., [9 vols.; London: Nelson, 1948–1957] vols. 8, 9)Google Scholar; it is not listed in the standard guide to his writings (Jessop, T. E., A Bibliography of George Berkeley [2nd ed., rev.; The Hague: Nijhoff, 1973])Google Scholar; nor is it mentioned in any biography of him. It may be found along with the letters of the archdeacon and Lloyd, but without any notation that “G. Cloyne” was Berkeley, George, in The Arminian Magazine 2 (1779) 252–56.Google ScholarTyerman, Luke (The Life and Times of the Rev. John Wesley, M.A. [3 vols.; London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1870] 2. 79–80)Google Scholar reprinted it, but apparently without realizing to whom the episcopal signature belonged, for he also did not name Berkeley. Crookshank, C. H. (History of Methodism in Ireland [2 vols.; Belfast: Allen, 1885] 1. 69)Google Scholar reprinted it again and did name Berkeley; but because his book is obscure, the letter has persistently eluded notice.
