Over de Concise and Genuine Account
(te vinden in “Hume-publicaties”)
1 ]Hume secured a pension from George III for Rousseau and a haven for him in Derbyshire, but Rousseau refused the first and fled from the second, prompted by his paranoia. Smarting from absurd accusations brought against him by Rousseau and fearing the publication of private letters containing them, Hume wrote a Concise and Genuine Account of the Dispute between Mr Hume and Mr Rousseau which was translated by J.†“B.†“A. Suard and published by dʼAlembert in Paris as Exposé succinct de la contestation . . . entre M. Hume et M. Rousseau (1766).
