My Own Life

On 18 April 1776, shortly before his death, David Hume recounted his life as one lived, by choice, as a man of letters. 'A man of mild dispositions, of command of temper', he told of how, even his love of literary fame, his ruling passion, never soured his temper, notwithstanding frequent disappointments. A bilingual edition in English and French, this book is part of the Luminary Collection. See more
