Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of David Hume to William Strahan
Hume's spelling I have retained, for it is interesting both in its peculiarities and its blunders. That he had his own views about orthography is shown hereafter.
His brief Autobiography, which I have reprinted, will be a convenient introduction to the study of his Letters.
In the letters from Adam Smith, one of which is new 5, and from Hume's brother and nephew, some account is given of the publication of the manuscripts which he left behind him.
