In Sections 110-117 of the Principles of Human Knowledge, Berkeley takes up questions in natural philosophy. He argues that space cannot exist without the mind, any more than other objects can. He also discusses space in An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision and in De Motu.

You can find a modernized "translation" of Berkeley's Principles of Human Knowledge here.
