Anthony Collins was cast in an unflattering light and dismissed
out-of-hand by early critics who included the classical
scholar Richard Bentley, the philosopher Bishop Berkeley and
the satirist Jonathan Swift. His correspondence, particularly
with John Locke - the most intense and seminal of his friend-ships
- and Pierre Des Maizeaux - among the most protracted
and certainly best documented, shows him very differently
and sets the stage for a proper appreciation of the most penetrating
and philosophically acute of the early 18th century
English free-thinkers.
