“I have one other curious and interesting, lent me by Mr Greene who has many good things "Gaudentio di Lucca" by Bishop Berkley; did you ever hear of it?”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.

Fuller names Gaudentio di Lucca, long attributed to Bishop George Berkeley but probably written by the Reverend Simon Berington, and expresses surprised curiosity about it, calling it "curious and interesting"; the book was lent to her by Albert Gorton Greene, and she is actively reading it.
