An exceptionally nice copy of this work. Peter Browne (d. 1735) attacks John Locke in his Essay on Human Understanding for what Browne termed "sensationalism". Deals as well with the thinking matter controversy, with our knowledge of body, and our knowledge of self. Some of Browne's ideas were criticized by Bishop Berkeley in his Alciphron (1732).
