Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1846 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVII. 1771 -- 1776. MT. 60 -- 65. Hume's social character -- His conversation -- His disposition -- Traditional anecdotes regarding him-- Correspondence-- Letter about the Pretender-- Gilbert Stuart's quarrel with Dr. Henry -- Commercial State of Scotland -- Letter to his nephew on Republicanism -- Smith's " Wealth of Nations" -- Hume's illness--His Will -- Smith appointed Literary Executor--Strahan substituted--His journey to England with Home -- Prospects of Death-- Communications with his Friends and Relations -- His Death -- General view of his influence on Thought and Action. It is to the period from the year 1770 to his death, when he lived among his early friends in Edinburgh, that we ought to refer such traditional accounts of Hume's private life and social habits, as are not expressly connected with any known event iu his history. He was, it is true, a distinguished man when he left his native city, in 1763. He had then, indeed, performed all the services which entitled him to immortality. But his foreign celebrity, and his official honours, had since added many ostensible glories to his name, and introduced him to a wider sphere of public notice than the substantial fruits of his genius and industry would have of themselves secured. When we remember that this was the most celebrated period of his life, and was the only one of which persons who are still, or who have lately been alive, could have any recollection, we naturally refer to it those traditional notices and incidents which have no distinct place. The impression of Hume's character, acquired by one who has sought it in the tenor of his works, and the history of his literary career, is quite different from that which we derive from those who knew him, and were...

The work of the elder Mirabeau in particular -- L'Ami des Hommes, was in a great measure a controversial examination of Hume's opinions on population. CHAPTER IX. 1752--1755. JEt. 41--44.

"In 1752," says Hume in his " own life," "the Faculty of Advocates chose me their librarian, an office from which I received little or no emolument, but which gave me the command of a large library."1 We have a very glowing account of the contest for this appointment from his own pen in the following letter: 1 The appointment is thus recorded in theminutes of the Faculty of Advocates. U28thjanuaryt 1752. "The Faculty proceeded to the choice of a keeper of their library, in place of the said Mr. Thomas Ruddiman; and some members proposed that a dignified member of their own body, viz. Mr. Kenneth Mackenzie, Advocate, Professor of the Civil Law in the University of Edinburgh, should be named to that office, and others inclining that Mr. David Hume should be elected, it was agreed that the matter should be put to a vote. And the rolls being called, and votes distinctly marked and taken down and numbered, it was found that the majority had declared for the latter; upon which, the Dean and Faculty declared the said Mr. David Hume duly elected...
