Additional Comments:
Taken from letter from Thomas Carlyle to John A. Carlyle dated 15th December 1819 written at Edinburgh. Pages 214 - 215 in this edition. Date range is estimate based on Carlyle's previous letter to John, dated 11th November 1819, in which he asks him if he has started Hume - I am guessing that this has prompted JAC to reply that he has. But no date of a reply is given in the editor's notes, so this is uncertain. Neither letter specifies which work (or which Hume).
