Possible Sources
[edit]Don't know where the original context came from, but I found the following two sources:
1. older book, but modernized spelling: Life and Correspondence of David Hume (1846) by John Hill Burton, p. 31 (Google Books)
2. newer book, but has older spelling which matches the existing Wikisource text: Letters of David Hume (1932), p. 12 (Internet Archive) Dumblepuff (talk) 04:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

- Source no. 1 is not the source of our text, as it contains many differences, for example pg. 30: handwriting x hand-writing, countryman x Countryman, Scotsman x Scotchman, ... --Jan Kameníček (talk) 10:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
