But he has left behind him an impression such as few men have anywhere made in so short a time. He. Founded a phi- losophical society in Newport, wliose books formed the basis of the Redwood Library, incorporated in 1747. Tradition points to a beetling cliff at the second beach, known as the Hanging Rock, as the favorite resort of the Christian philos- opher, where he composed a great part of the Alciphron ; and popular fancy has given to this romantic spot the name of Berkele} 's Cave.

The population of Newport in 1730 was 4640, having more than doubled within twenty-two years since the first census ever taken in the colony in 1708. That it was growing rap- idly is shown by the succeeding census, eighteen years later, when it numbered G508, notwithstanding the loss of over six hundred by the division of the town ; for in 1748, the first census after the separation, Middletown had 680 in- habitants.
