Book excerpt: The Life of David Hume, Esq And Of Superstition and Enthusiasm David Hume 2 Books in One David Hume (26 April 1711 OS) - 25 August 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of radical philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism. BOOK 1 The Life of David Hume, Esq It is difficult for a man to speak long of himself without vanity; therefore, I shall be short. It may be thought an instance of vanity that I pretend at all to write my life; but this Narrative shall contain little more than the History of my Writings; as, indeed, almost all my life has been spent in literary pursuits and occupations. The first success of most of my writings was not such as to be an object of vanity. I was born the 26th of April 1711, old style, at Edinburgh. I was of a good family, both by father and mother: my father's family is a branch of the Earl of Home's, or Hume's; and my ancestors had been proprietors of the estate, which my brother possesses, for several generations. My mother was daughter of Sir David Falconer, President of the College of Justice: the title of Lord Halkerton came by succession to her brother. BOOK 2 Of Superstition and Enthusiasm That the corruption of the best of things produces the worst, is grown into a maxim, and is commonly proved, among other instances, by the pernicious effects of superstition and enthusiasm, the corruptions of true religion. These two species of false religion, though both pernicious, are yet of a very different, and even of a contrary nature. The mind of man is subject to certain unaccountable terrors and apprehensions, proceeding either from the unhappy situation of private or public affairs, from ill health, from a gloomy and melancholy disposition, or from the concurrence of all these circumstances. In such a state of mind, infinite unknown evils are dreaded from unknown agents; and where real objects of terror are wanting, the soul, active to its own prejudice, and fostering its predominant inclination, finds imaginary ones, to whose power and malevolence it sets no limits.

This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Life and Writings of David Hume, Esq. IN the biographical fketch, drawn up by Mr. Hume previous to his death, and inti tled MY own life, he has paffed over nu noticed two very important incidents. The firfi of thefe is the complaint prefented to the General Afi'embly of the Church of Scotland, againfi the metaphyfical writings of our au thor and Lord Kames; an occurrence which derives, additional importance from a late dif cuflion of a like nature before that venerable body. The other is the difpute between him and Roufl'eau, which it was the more necef fary to relate at confiderable length, as an opinion, unfavourable to Mr. Hume, prevailed very generally, and even fiill prevails, among the literati in foreign countries. A fentiment of delicacy feems to have refirained him from alluding to thefe tranfaetions, but fuch almotive cannot influence a firanger; and a fimilar omiflion in a Life of Mr. Hume, written by another perfon, would certainly render the work very imperfeel.
