Pocock was one of the great figures of English marine painting in the eighteenth century. His work is of outstanding interest to maritime historians because, in addition to his skill as a painter, he had spent many years as a sea captain. He used his early experience to great effect and earned the confidence of distinguished naval patrons. Pocock is unusual in that so much supporting material survives. Working drawings, sketchbooks and letters abound, allowing the author to draw an exceptionally rounded picture of a man who meticulously recorded British maritime history for nearly forty years. -- Jacket

In his autobiography, David Hume famously noted that A Treatise of Human Nature “fell dead-born from the press.” Yet it is now widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophical works written in the English language. Within, Hume offers an empirically informed account of human nature, addressing a range of topics such as space, time, causality, the external world, personal identity, passions, freedom, necessity, virtue, and vice. This edition includes not only the full text of the Treatise but also Hume’s summarizing Abstract, as well as selections drawn from critical book reviews which showcase the work’s reception in Hume’s own time. Angela Coventry’s expert introduction and annotations serve to contextualize the book’s themes and arguments for modern readers.
