That it exists is admitted; but how shall we account for it? The pressure of this question was not realized by Berkeley. His main effort was directed to the disproof of matter, and after this was done to his own satisfaction and, we may add, to the satisfaction of all those who realize what he meant by matter his intellectual interest waned.
