Steven in his list of
Hume's writings, and have been supposed to be his by M'Crie and others;
but Mr. D. Laing believes "there can be no doubt, from internal
evidence, that the true author was Alexander Hume, the poet, who became
minister of Logie, near Stirling, in 1597, and who died in December,
1609." In Wood's Athenae Oxonienses, by Bliss, i., 624, it is stated that
all three of them "were printed in London in 1594, in October," but this
must, I think, be a mistake.
Ane Treatise of Conscience, quhairin divers secreits concerning that
subject are discovered. At Edinburgh, printed by Robert Walde-grave,
Printer to the King's Maiestie 1594. 8o.
Of the Felicitie of the world to come, unsavorie to the obstinate,
alluring to such as are gone astray, and to the faithfull full of
consolation. Edinb. 1594. 8o.
Four Discourses, of Praises unto God, to wit, 1 in Praise of the Mercy
and Goodness of God. 2 of his justice. 3 of his Power. 4 of his
Providence. Edinb. 1594. 8o.
In conclusion, my acknowledgments are due to David Laing, Esq., who
has kindly suggested some corrections in the list of Hume's works, in
addition to what is noted above.
London, February, 1865.
