CHAP. X. was to these champions in heavy armour that Hume opposed his light weapons. The beauty of style was too much for the weight of authorities. Nearly a century was to pass over before the reputation of Hume was to be assailed by the cruelest of devices that of fitting his book for "The Student, " by changing his facts ; modifying or suppressing his opinions, religious and political; and taking such liberties with his style as a bad copyist attempts with the masterpieces of a great painter.... The middle of the eighteenth century may be regarded as the great era of popular historical books. What Hume accomplished so triumphantly, in widen- ing the circle of historical readers, was attempted with less ultimate success by Smollett. Hume took up separate portions of our annals, and proceeded towards a complete history in what may seem a very irregular order. In 1754, he produced his first volume, containing the reigns of James I. And Charles I. ; and his second volume, containing the Commonwealth, and Charles II.
