A complete eight-volume set of Hume’s History of England, published in 1816 by J. Hatchard, bookseller to the Queen, London. This 1816 edition represents a refined adaptation of Hume’s original text by Rev. George Berkeley Mitchell, a chaplain to the Duke of York, intended for a family audience. It reflects the evolving tastes and moral sensibilities of the Regency period while preserving Hume’s commitment to historical accuracy. Originally authored by David Hume, this iconic work charts England’s history from the Roman invasion through to the 17th century, with omissions and alterations to make the text more suitable for younger readers and Christians. Each volume features firm bindings, light to moderate spotting and tanning, and retains its original leather and cloth binding.

A large and very rare volume containing 196 engraved plates for David Hume’s History of England, Bowyer edition, published by the Historic Gallery, Pall Mall, London, in 1793. This impressive folio-sized book (47.5 cm tall) features plates in good condition for their age, with light patina, spotting, and tanning around the edges. The first plate, depicting David Hume, is nearly detached, and the spine cloth is detached from the text block, requiring restoration. The vast majority of plates are still firmly attached to the text block. Boards are sturdy with some edge wear, bumping, and cloth tears to both sides (see images). It’s unclear how many plates were included in this folio; Bowyer’s edition contained 197 plates, and after recounting three times we’ve established this volume contains 196. A similar, two-volume set can be found at The Royal Academy of Arts.
