Mossner's Life of David Hume remains the standard biography of this great thinker and writer. First published in 1954, and updated in 1980, it is now reissued in paperback, in response to increased interest in Hume. E. C. Mossner was Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin. 'Mossner's work is a quite remarkable scholarly achievement; it will be an indispensable tool for Hume scholars and a treasure-trove of information for all students of the intellectual and literary history of the eighteenth century' Richard H. Popkin in the Philological Quarterly 'This magnificent and exemplary work...has more than a biographical value. It is a study of intellectual reaction in the eighteenth century: a book for many readers, and not only for those of a philosophical turn.' C. E. Vulliamy in The Observer 'This is the work of a man thoroughly in love with his subject...this biography is the product of long and happy research. The length and the happiness both contribute to its merits.' The Times Literary Supplement

作为九泉休谟家族的第一个大卫，他死后没有子嗣，其遗产被其弟约翰继承。约輸有两个儿子，大卫和约輸。第二个大卫同样没有子嗣。老约輸的儿子安德鲁也许是强悍多于睿智。1607年，他和他的兄弟尼科尔组建了一支50人的武装队伍，并亲率他们侵了高德斯考福特的大卫・霍姆（ David Home of Godscroft）的领地。他们烧毁了马场，并用他们自己的马运走了大量的石楠，并以“许多可怕的渎神之举”威胁着那些佃户的生活。这对兄弟被传唤至爱丁堡，以为自己的行为辩护，但最终的结果不得而知。九泉的休谟家族的此次劫掠（ foray）既不是第一次也不是最后一次。 (查看原文)
