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 reader. This Liberty Fund edition is based on the edition of 1778, the last to contain corrections by Hume. The typography has been modernised for ease of reading. Hume's own index to the entire work may be found at the conclusion of volume VI.… (mehr)

"History in general only informs us what bad government is. but as we have employed some of the best materials of the British constitution in the construction of our own government, a knolege of British history becomes useful to the American politician. there is however no general history of that country which can be recommended. the elegant one of Hume seems intended to disguise & discredit the good principles of the government, and is so plausible & pleasing in it's style and manner, as to instil it's errors & heresies insensibly into the minds of unwary readers."—Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 11 June 1807

"Our laws, language, religion, politics, & manners are so deeply laid in English foundations, that we shall never cease to consider their history as a part of ours and to study ours in that as it's origin. Every one knows that judicious matter & charms of stile have rendered Hume's history the Manual of every student. I remember well the enthusiasm with which I devoured it when young, and the length of time, the research & reflection which were necessary to eradicate the poison it had instilled into my mind. It was unfortunate that he first took up the history of the Stuarts, became their apologist and advocated all their enormities. To support his work, when done, he went back to the Tudors, and so selected and arranged the materials of their history as to present their arbitrary acts only, as the genuine samples of the constitutional power of the crown; and, still writing backwards, he then reverted to the early history, and wrote the Saxon & Norman periods with the same perverted view. Altho' all this is known, he still continues to be put into the hands of all our young people, and to infect them with the poison of his own principles of government. It is this book which has undermined the free principles of the English government, has persuaded readers of all classes that these were usurpations on the legitimate and salutary rights of the crown, and has spread universal toryism over the land."—Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, 12 August 1810

Hume's History of England was produced in stages in reverse chronological order. The last two volumes were the first to appear in print, under the title The History of Great Britain. Nevertheless, The History of England is the correct title of the whole six-volume series. It includes:

1-2. The history of England from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the accession of Henry VII (pub. 1762)
3-4. The history of England under the House of Tudor (pub. 1759)
5. The history of Great Britain, containing the reigns of James I and Charles I (pub. 1754)
6. The history of Great Britain, containing the Commonwealth, and the reigns of Charles II and James II (pub. 1757)
