Alciphron: or the Minute Philosopher in Seven Dialogues. London: J & R Tonson & S. Draper, 1752. Third Edition. Bound in contemporary full calf, compartments embellished in gilt. Light wear to covers, contents in nice condition throughout.

Bishop Berkeley wrote Alciphron during his time in America (specifically Rhode Island) while planning to establish a college in Bermuda.

The work, first published in 1732, is a philosophical text written in the form of dialogues. It addresses religious, moral, and philosophical issues, particularly critiquing free-thinking, atheism, and deism.

Berkeley defends Christianity and the belief in a moral order grounded in divine authority.
