Signed by one of the editors on the ffep thus "For Lynne with much Love, John" (Lynne [Eluned Brown] .was the CEO of the Scottish Arts Council in the 1970s, and was a lecturer at the English department of Edinburgh University - a colleague of John Vladimir Price) The book and unclipped dust jacket are both in excellent condition. "Hume was engaged in writing these two works in the years 1749-53, but while he completed and published The Natural History of Religion in 1757, the Dialogues concerning Natural Religion did not appear until 1779, three years after his death. Together they represent his most searching and self-contained pronouncements upon the central issues of religious belief, and each is, in its way, devastating to the cause of natural religion. This volume contains authoritative texts of both works, with historical introductions and explanatory and bibliographical notes to assist the modern reader. Dr. Price's edition of the Dialogues is the first to use as copy text Hume's holograph copy of the work preserved in the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The editor records authorial deletions and changes of wording, and separately in an appendix Hume's interlineations in the manuscript. Professor Colver has based his edition of The Natural History on the text of the first edition, and records all Hume's changes in later editions in the critical apparatus printed beneath the text. John Valdimir Price is lecturer in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. He is author of The Ironic Hume (1965), David Hume (1968), and Tobias Smollett: The Expedition of Humphry Clinker (1973); and he has edited, with E. C. Mossner, David Hume's A Letter from a Gentleman (1967). A. Wayne Colver is Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Fresno.". SIGNED COPY.
