A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. David Hume wrote his Treatise in his twenties and published it in 1739 and 1740, later lamenting that it fell "dead-born from the press." In three books on the understanding, the passions and morals, he argues that our ideas come from experience, that reason is the slave of the passions, and that our belief in causes rests on habit. A cornerstone of modern philosophy.
