Edition notes:

A Treatise of Human Nature

The text of A Treatise of Human Nature is a corrected edition of the Everyman's Library Edition, London: 1911. In proofreading the text we corrected several spelling errors. We proofread the text as against the 1882 Green & Grose Treatise, and used the Selby-Bigge edition to arbitrate discrepancies.

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

The text of An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a corrected edition of the Green & Grose edition and includes Green & Grose's variant readings. The proofread text of the Green & Grose was proofread against the Open Court edition, and all word discrepancies were arbitrated by the 1758 edition.

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals

The text of An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals is a corrected edition drawn from the 1898 Green & Grose and includes Green & Groses's variant readings. The proofread text of the Green & Grose was proofread against the 1854 Works, and all word discrepancies were arbitrated by the 1758 edition.

"My Own Life"

The text of "My Own Life" was based on the 1898 Green & Grose edition, but proofread against Miller's Essays.

Essays: Moral, Political, and Literary

The text of the 1898 edition of the Green & Grose Hume's Essays was used as our base for Hume's Essays: Moral, Political, and Literary. We proofread the Green & Grose against the Miller edition (editiorial additions (c) 1987), and relied upon the Miller edition in case of discrepancies.

Miller found 100 word discrepancies between Green & Grose and the 1777 edition of the Essays (the last published in Hume's lifetime), and 175 punctuation differences. We are indebted to Prof. Miller for his efforts; we did not have access to a 1777 edition. We corrected those spelling errors in Miller which were not also in Green & Grose (e.g. splendour for spendour). We found 5 such discrepancies. Those spelling errors which occur both in Miller and in Green & Grose (e.g. falshood) remain. Prior to publishing this work we consulted both Prof. Miller and the Liberty Fund, both of whom kindly consented to our using Prof. Miller's textual corrections.

All of the essays of Vol. 1 of the 1898 Green & Grose are included in the PAST MASTERS edition. Vol. 2 is published complete with the following exceptions:

"On the Authenticity of Ossian's Poems" "Concerning Wilkie's Epigoniad" "Dedication of Four Dissertations" "A Descent on the Coast of Brittany, 1746" "Scotticisms"

"A Dissertation on the Passions"

The text of "A Dissertation on the Passions" is drawn from Vol. 2 of the Green & Grose, but proofread against the 1854 Works, with word discrepancies checked against the 1758 edition.

The Natural History of Religion

The text and variant readings of The Natural History of Religion is that of Green & Grose.

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

The text of the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is that of the 1854 Works.
