David Hume is one of the great philosophers of the Western intellectual
tradition. His philosophical writings earned him lasting fame and renown; his
historical writing earned his bread and butter. His "The History of England
from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688", published
between 1754 and 1764, was immensely popular and Hume wrote that "the
copy-money given me by the booksellers much exceeded any thing formerly
known in England; I was become not only independent, but opulent." The six
volume work has had numerous editions and is still in print today. David
Hume and Thomas Babington Macaulay have frequently been compared as
the premier English historians but we don't have to choose because
Macaulay begins where Hume leaves off. (Summary by Richard Carpenter)
