LIBERTY IN HUME'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND In his own lifetime, Hume was feted by his admirers as a great historian, and even his enemies conceded that he was a controversial historian with whom one had to reckon. On the other hand, Hume failed to achieve positive recognition for his philosophical views. It was Hume's History of England that played an influential role in public policy debate during the eighteenth century in both Great Britain and in the United States. Hume's Hist01Y of England passed through seven editions and was beginning to be perceived as a classic before Hume's death. Voltaire, as an historian, considered it "perhaps the best ever written in any lan guage. " Gibbon greatly admired Hume's work and said, of a letter written by Hume in 1776 praising the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, that a compliment from Hume "overpaid the labor of ten years. " After Hume's death on August 20, 1776, the History became a factor in the revolutionary events that began to unfold. Louis XVI was a close student of Hume's History, and his valet records that, upon having learned that the Convention had voted the death penalty, the King asked for the volume in Hume's History covering the trial and execution of Charles I to read in the days that remained. But if Louis XVI found the consolations of philosophical history in the Stuart volumes, Thomas Jefferson saw in them a cause for alarm.

This volume on Hume's politics brings together essays that have been formative of the scholarly and more general debate about Hume's political thought. Unlike many theorists who express their thought in terms of system, Hume uses the incidental genre of the essay as the vehicle for his writing and his mode of presentation is a reflection, indeed an expression, of his belief in the limited power of reason to give any over-all shape to human life. Hume's politics are particularly suited for discussion of a wide range of view-points. The possibilities of seeing in Hume both the conservative and the liberal are pursued along with Hume's sophisticated analysis of party-politics. His acute and pioneering theorisation of perhaps the most central issue for 18th-century political observers, that of commerce and politics, is brought out in the context of his ideas of the international order. His fundamental theory of justice is discussed in its connection with law, property and government.

A century before the American Revolution, the first great clash between ancient monarchy and modern ideas of liberty took place on the battlefields of England. This epic story of England in the first half of the seventeenth century, a half century of unrest that culminated in the English Civil War, begins with the accession of the first Stuart king, James I, to the throne of England, continues with the infamous "gunpowder treason" of Guy Fawkes, and proceeds through every crucial event leading to the fall of a 600-year-old monarchy. With an eye for both the smallest anecdote and the grandest themes, the great philosopher and historian David Hume narrates a story of politics and people that, like other classic histories such as Thucydides' Peloponnesian War, reveals much about not just its own time but all times. Originally published in 1754, it was the standard account for a century and is one of the greatest histories ever written. In recent times, however, the book has been too little read, in part because Hume's language has grown increasingly archaic. This new edition is a gently updated "modern English" version. It contains the full narrative history; it is not censored, bowdlerized, or politically corrected. Hume has his full say and now the modern reader can readily hear it. The editor, a professional copyeditor, originally took on the project of updating Hume's language so his son could read this great classic with pleasure and full understanding as part of his high school homeschool course on British history. Every sentence of the volume was rigorously inspected; only those changes that improved readability and comprehension were implemented, with great care taken to preserve the felicity, nuance, and power of Hume's prose. Self-publishing the result became another homeschool project; the son designed the covers and father and son formatted the text together. This edition includes the following major categories of changes: * Obsolete names of persons are rendered in modern style (e.g., Louis XIII for "Lewis"; Colonel John Hurry for "Urrey"; John Cosin, dean of Peterborough, for "Cosins" and "Cozens"; Hugh MacMahon for "Mahone"; Sir Richard Grenville for "Granvile"). * Obsolete names of places are rendered in modern style (e.g., Powderham Castle for "Poudram"; Santander, Spain for "St. Andero"; Drogheda, Ireland for "Tredah"; Moray County, Scotland for "Murray"; Perth, Scotland for "St. Johnstone's"). * Archaic words are replaced with modern words of the same meaning (e.g., dared for "durst"; half for "moiety"; in no way for "nowise"; boast for "vaunt" (noun); playgoer for "play-haunter") * Archaic senses of still-used words are replaced with modern words to avoid misunderstanding of Hume's intended meaning when a word still in use has changed in meaning (e.g., reveal, uncover, show, expose, display, evidence, disclose, perceive, betray, or apparent is substituted for "discover" as the context requires; ardent, zealous, warm, or fervent is substituted for "earnest" as the context requires; pledge, promise, agreement, enterprise, enlistment, obligation, contract, commitment, or undertaking is substituted for "engagement" as the context requires; aware, cognizant, mindful, palpable, perceptible, perceived, keenly felt, alert, noticeable, or conspicuous is substituted for "sensible" as the context requires). * Archaic idioms are replaced with modern phrases of the same meaning (e.g., "he resolved no longer to abide by any limits on his conduct with respect to the court" is substituted for "he resolved no longer to keep any measures with the court"). * Archaic spellings of common words are rendered in modern form (e.g., malcontents for "malecontents"; encounter for "rencounter"). * British spellings are rendered in American form. * Capitalizations of offices, titles of persons, and proper nouns follow modern American style. * Archaic syntax and punctuation are rendered in modern style.

'A skilful and lucid study ... Hume's History has been unjustly neglected at the expense of his philosophy. Phillipson's book should help redress the balance' London Review of Books 'For pray, what is the End of Man? Is he created for Happiness or for Virtue? For this Life or for the next? For himself or for his Maker?' A giant of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, David Hume was one of the most important philosophers ever to write in English. He was also a brilliant historian. Nicholas Phillipson's succinct study shows how Hume freed history from religion and politics. As a philosopher, Hume sought a way of seeing the world and pursuing happiness independently of a belief in God. His groundbreaking approach applied the same outlook to Britain's history, showing how the past was shaped solely through human choices and actions. In this account of Hume's life and works, from his university days in Edinburgh to the rapturous reception of his History of England, Nicholas Phillipson reveals the gradual process by which one of the greatest Western philosophers turned himself into one of the greatest historians of Britain. In doing so, he shows us how revolutionary Hume was, and why his ideas still matter today.
