Slipped in is a photocopy of a 1978 Notes and Queries review by Simon Blackburn of 1976 limited 98 pp. edition (200 copies) titled 'Archbishop King's Sermon on Predestination' by Cadenus Press (Monkstown, Ireland) intro & ed. by D.Berman and A. Carpenter respectively. This very usefully sets the work in the context of contemporary philosophy and the scientific revolution, suggesting many of Berkeley's concerns were 'rooted in the controversies surrounding King's position'. Very scarce and only subsequent, also very scarce, 1976 ed. seems to have been issued since. Despite its faults this remains a very acceptable copy for academic and research purposes.
