Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Half-leather over marbled paper boards with a gilt lettered label to spine. In better than very good shape: firm and square, strong joints, sharp corners. Contents clean and tidy. The front blank leaf shows a very neat lengthy note written in contemporary hand. Also an old name neatly showing at the half title. No other pen-marks or inscriptions, just evenly age toned. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Size: 214mm x 133mm; collation: pp. [4], 328. Favourably reviewed by William Rose in the Monthly Review and by Tobias Smollett in the Critical Review, MacQueen's Letters seem to have made Hume expunge some of the most offensive passages from later editions of his History. Thus a well bound book in pleasing condition. Bibliographic references: Chuo III 156; Jessop pp. 49-50; ESTC T81959.

First Edition
Half-title present, 328 pp; blind stamp to title-page. Recent quarter calf, morocco label. First edition. MacQueen provides one of the earliest responses to Hume's 'History of Great Britain' (later 'The History of England'.) Hume amended two passages after the first edition of the work was published, and MacQueen's criticism may have been responsible for this. Jessop p.49.

First Edition
First edition of "by far the most thorough and detailed attack" (Slater, p. 141) on the first volume of David Hume's History of England (1754-1762). MacQueen's work is one of the earliest commentaries on the History published in Hume's lifetime. While the History brought Hume popular renown, his sympathetic treatment of the Stuart monarchs, and his cavalier treatment of England's religious institutions, caused considerable controversy in the Whig-dominated culture of the 1750s. The anonymous response of Daniel MacQueen, an elderly minister at Edinburgh's Old Kirk, was published two years after Hume's first volume, which covered the reigns of James I and Charles I. Accordingly, MacQueen attacks both Hume's irreligiousness and his apparent acceptance of untrammelled authoritarianism in British politics. Recognizing the strength of MacQueen's attack on "the author's indecent excursions on the subject of religion, the genius of the Protestant faith, and the characters of the first reformers" (p. 4), Hume made several conciliatory revisions in subsequent editions of the History. Jessop, pp. 49-50. Graeme Slater, "Hume's Revisions of the 'History of England'", Studies in Bibliography, vol. 45, no. 1, 1992. Octavo (200 x 123 mm). Contemporary calf, spine with raised bands and compartments ruled and decorated in gilt, red morocco label to second, covers with double-rule panels in gilt, edges sprinkled red. Light bumping and moderate wear, joints cracked but holding firm, minor foxing and browning to endpapers and outer leaves: a good copy.
