	Allan Octavian Hume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hume was apparently born at St Mary Cray, Kent, the son of Joseph Hume, the Radical MP.
		Hume's is not likely to be formed again; for it is doubtful if such a combination of genius for organisation with energy for the completion of so great a scheme, and the scientific knowledge requisite for its proper development will again be combined in a single individual.
		Hume made several expeditions solely to study ornithology and in March 1873 he made one to the Andaman, Nicobar and other islands in the Bay of Bengal along with geologists Dr. Ferdinand Stoliczka and Dr. Dougall of the Geological Survey of India and James Wood-Mason of the Indian Museum in Calcutta.

	Joseph Hume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Hume (January 22, 1777 - February 20, 1855) was a Scottish doctor and politician, born in Montrose, Angus, Scotland.
		His action as trustee for the notorious Greek loan in 1824 was at least not delicate, and was the ground of charges of downright dishonesty.
		Another son, Allan Octavian Hume, a renowned ornithologist, also went into the Indian Civil Service and was involved in much political activism during his career especially on behalf of India, for example he founded the Indian National Congress.

		Hume had the greatest respect for the author of the Analogy, ranks him with Locke and Berkeley as an originator of the experimental method in moral science, and in his specially theological essays, such as that on Particular Providence and a Future State, has Butlers views specifically in mind.
		Humes eminence in the fields of philosophy and history must not be allowed to obscure his importance as a political economist.
		Yet when we compare Hume with Adam Smith, the advance which Hume had made on his predecessors in lucidity of exposition and subtlety of intellect becomes clear, and modern criticism is agreed that the main errors of Adam Smith are to be found in those deductions which deviate from the results of the Political Discourses.

		Hume calls for writers to be on their guard against changing the subject like that, not without giving an explanation of how the ought-statements are supposed to follow from the is-statements.
		Hume, along his fellow members of the Scottish Enlightenment, first advanced the idea that moral rules are justified by promoting the utility of the persons involved.
		Hume's role is not to be overstated, of course; it was his countryman Francis Hutcheson who coined the utilitarian slogan "greatest good for the greatest number".

	[Madame Blavatsky in Simla] by Edward J. Buck
		Hume proceeded to convert the house into a veritable palace, which tradition says he fully expected would be bought for a Viceregal residence in view of the fact that the Governor-General then occupied ‘Peterhoff,’ a building far too small for Viceregal entertainments.
		Hume, a grandson of the celebrated politician Joseph Hume, was himself a remarkable character.
		Hume, in a printed brochure on Madame Blavatzky, said that she was the most marvellous liar he had ever met, but excused her on the ground that she used deception with the honest object of converting to a higher faith.

	[No title]
		Hume's first Dissertation; which abounds with shrewd reflections, and just observations, upon human nature: mixed with a considerable portion of that sceptical spirit, which is so apparent in all his works; and with some insinuations, artfully couched, against the Christian religion.
		Hume concludes that "Nothing indeed would prove more strongly the divine origin of any religion, than to find (and happily this is the case with Christianity) that it is free from a contradiction, so incident to human nature." Clearly, Hume's point is that Christian theism suffers from the same defect.
		A consequence of Hume's use of concealment is that it allows for a spectrum of interpretations, ranging from the more optimistic views of the contemporary commentators noted at the outset, to the more pessimistic interpretations of his early critics.

		Hume had given in promoting the claim of that body for assistance towards giving it a better place of meeting, and enabling it to throw open to the public the use of its 'instruments of research and instruction.'

	Early Responses to Hume’s Writings on Religion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		David Hume (1711-1776) ranks among the most influential authors ever to have written on the philosophy of religion.
		The larger aim of his critique was to disentangle philosophy from religion and thus allow philosophy to pursue its ends without either rational over-extension or psychological corruption.
		These two volumes collect responses to Hume's writings on religion published during his life, namely, 'Of Miracles', 'Of a Particular Providence and a Future State', 'The Natural History of Religion,' and the posthumously published works Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, 'Of Suicide' and 'Of the Immortality of the Soul'.

	Hume
		Hume certainly would not have accepted the "rice theory" in explanation of the social state of [28] the Hindoos; and, it may be safely assumed, that he would not have had recourse to the circumambience of the "melancholy main" to account for the troublous history of Ireland.
		Hume seems to have made a very favourable impression on General St. Clair, as he did upon every one with whom he came into personal contact; for, being charged with a mission to the Court of Turin, in 1748, the General insisted upon the appointment of Hume as his secretary.
		Hume's cool head was by no means turned; but he took the goods the gods provided with much satisfaction; and everywhere won golden opinions by his unaffected good sense and thorough kindness of heart.
