David Hume Scottish Enlightenment Edinburgh
Tuesday, March 17, 2009
This evening, I am posting some images of a memorial to David Hume in the cemetery off Regent Road, Edinburgh.
David Hume (1711-77) was a leading figure of the Scottish Enlightenment. His main work was Treatise of Human Nature published 1739-40. Hume became Keeper of the Advocates Library and was a founder member of the Select Society, established 1754. He made his fortune from the six volume History of England which was published 1754-62. Hume returned to Scotland (from Paris) in 1769.
