ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Hume (1711 - 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist and essayist who is known for his highly influential system of empiricism, philosophical skepticism and metaphysical naturalism. Beginning with A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40), Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature. Following John Locke, Hume rejected the existence of innate ideas, holding that all our ideas derive ultimately from impressions. He distinguished relations of ideas, known a priori, from matters of fact, whose knowledge rests on experience. This places him in the empiricist tradition of Locke and George Berkeley, while drawing his experimental method from Francis Bacon. During his lifetime, Hume was chiefly known as a historian and essayist, as his History of England became a bestseller, while his Treatise initially received little notice and his supposed atheism saw him passed over for university chairs. Hume left a legacy that affected utilitarianism, logical positivism, the philosophy of science, early analytic philosophy, cognitive science, theology and many other fields and thinkers. Immanuel Kant credited Hume as the inspiration that had awakened him from his 'dogmatic slumbers.' CONDITION REPORT Overall Condition: Very Good Exterior and binding: Mostly firm hinges and joints with a little jiggle. Tight pages, sharp corners. Binding strained in a few places. Vividly glossy black calf that is unfaded. Gilding in excellent shape. Rubbing to edges and boards with areas of chipping to black, pebbled cloth. Bottom edge with a water stain. Some foxing to fore-edge. Maps in excellent condition. Former owner ink stamp with personal info on a front blank. Interior: Pages are generally clean and bright with light foxing throughout. Heavier foxing on the endpapers, which are a bit grubby. Minimal signs of handling, a few bent corner tips, a few finger smudges. Overall, an illustrated copy of Hume's classic History of England in a handsome fine binding that shows exceptionally well on the shelf. Prize binding - 1/2 polished gilt calf.…
