The Monthly review, 1753, v. 7, p. 318, refers to the "Proposal" as "first printed in 1725." Neither Sabin, nor Fraser and Sampson, the editors of Berkeley's collected works, know anything of an edition of 1724. Berkeley in the edition of 1725 refers to this earlier edition when he says in the postscript: "Since the foregoing proposal was first made publick, His Majesty hath been graciously pleased to grant a charter for erecting a college by the name of St. Paul's college in Bermuda." On the inception of this idea, see the editor's preface to the "Proposal" in Fraser's edition of Berkeley's Works, 1901, v. 4, p. 342-345.

Accompanied by--By a college to be erected in the Summer islands, otherwise called the isles of Bermuda ... London, Printed by H. Woodfall, 1725. 24 p. 20 cm. Has added a postscript and a list of subscribers.
