' Hume's character of himself, " said she, lt was well drawn and full of candor ; he spoke of himself as he ought, but added, what surprised us all, that, plain as his manners were, and apparently careless of attention, vanity was his pre- dominant weakness. That vanity led him to publish his essays, which he grieved over, not that he had changed his opinions, but that he thought h...e had injured society by disseminating them. ' Do you remember the sequel of that affair ? ' said Hume. 'Yes, I do, ' replied my mother, laughing; 'you told me that, although I thought your character a sincere one, it was not so there was a particular feature omitted, that we were still ignorant of, and that you would add it ; like a fool I gave you the MS. , and you thrust it into the fire, adding, " Oh ! what an idiot I had nearly proved myself to be, to leave such a document in the hands of a parcel of women !"
