One of the more important refutations of the Maria Monk anti-Catholic fraud, quite famous in its day.

Later in 1836 she published an enlarged and revised edition of her sensational book in which she specifically answered some of the charges in the present book. TPL 7395, Lande 1922, Gagnon II 86..

London: W.H. Allen, 1961. Black boards. pp xiv, 125 plates; two maps in text. Fine copy, no owner marks. Dust jacket has some short tears, VG otherwise. "In the late 1880s, Jerusalem shop-keeper Moses Wilhelm Shapira arrived in England with several strips of parchment. Shapira claimed that these fragments were found in the Dead Sea area and were part of an early version of the book of Deuteronomy. Experts who examined the strips called them forgeries, saying that the manuscript could not have survived in the Dead Sea climate. Disgraced and dishonoured, Shapira left England and soon after committed suicide. Ironically, scholars in recent years have come to believe that Shapira's manuscript was not a hoax - and may actually have been a portion of the oldest Bible in the world. This is the true story of a 19th century mystery and controversy which resulted in discrediting what may have been one of the most important archaeological findings of all time. The author of this book travelled to the Dead Sea where the manuscript was said to have been found. His account of the trip and its significance, and his recounting of Shapira's claims add up to a fascinating story of scholarly prejudice and vindictiveness which may have robbed the modern world of one of the greatest treasures of the ages." - jacket.

"Much of the book is concerned with the merits of tar water, but Berkeley passed from this subject to the causes of physical phenomena, which, he held, cannot be discovered in the phenomena themselves but must be sought for in the Divine activity. This is in line with his earlier views, but some readers, on the basis of his admiring references to Plato and the Neoplatonists, have considered that by this time he had considerably modified his system.
