David Hume and slavery

Dr Felix Waldmann, 2016 Hume Fellow at IASH, has written a fascinating piece in The Scotsman exploring David Hume's connections with slavery and his views on race. Felix highlights his discovery of "an unknown letter of March 1766 by Hume, in which he encouraged his patron Lord Hertford to purchase a slave plantation in Grenada. This is the only surviving evidence of Hume’s involvement in the slave trade".
