Zusammenfassung:The 326 subscribers to the first American edition of Hume's 'History' (published in Philadelphia in 1795/96) are more representative of the 'History's' friendly reception in enlightened America than are its few critics. Thomas Jefferson's latter-day rejection of Hume's political thought foreshadowed Hume's falling reputation in nineteenth-century America.MARK G. SPENCER is associate professor of history at Brock University where he holds a Chancellor's Chair for Research Excellence. His books include Hume's Reception in Early America (2002), Utilitarians and Their Critics in America, 1789-1914 (2005), and Ulster Presbyterians in the Atlantic World (2006)
