Abstract

This note reports on the disappearance of two items associated with the philosopher David Hume (1711–1776). The first item, formerly preserved in the National Library of Scotland, is a portion of a manuscript: the Register of the Proceedings of the Curators and Keeper of the Library of the Faculty of Advocates. The portion concerns the period during which Hume held the Keepership of the Library. The second item, formerly preserved in the National Museums of Scotland, is one of only two extant copies of Hume’s supressed Five Dissertations (1755–6).
