It seems that when Professor Silliman was abroad on his travels, he received a different account of the circum- stances attending the death of Hume's mother, which he considered as entitled to credit, and which he published. The story as related to him, was that Hume, when con- firmed in his own infidelity, "had applied himself with unwearied and unhappily with successful efforts, to sap the foundation of his mother's faith. Having succeeded in this dreadful work, he went abroad into foreign Co...un- tries ; and as he was returning, an express met him in NOTES TO London, with, a letter from his mother, informing him that she was in a deep decline, and could not long sur- vive: she said she found herself without any support in her distress ; that he had taken away that source of com- fort upon which in all cases of affliction she used to rely, and that she now found her mind sinking into despair: she did not doubt that her son would afford her some substitute for her religion, and she conjured him to hasten to her, or at least to send her a letter containing such consolations as philosophy can afford to a dying mortal.
