David Hume's great, enduring reputation in philosophy tends to obscure the fact that, among his contemporaries, his history of England was a more successful work. The history covers almost 1800 years. Hume saw English history as an evolution from a government of will to a government of law. Advanced in Hume's masterly prose, this argument continues to make the "History" a valuable study for the modern audience. This Liberty Fund edition is based on the edition of 1778, the last to contain corrections by Hume. Hume's own index to the entire work may be found at the conclusion of volume VI.
