This work is part of the "Early Responses to Hume" series. Collecting hundreds of 18th- and 19th-century critical publications on Hume's philosophical, literary, political, economic and historical writings, the text includes book extracts, reviews and critical pamphlets. Many of the volumes' sections have not been reprinted since their original publications into English. They should be a useful reference source for scholars across a range of disciplines. Volumes Five and Six contain responses to Hume's writings on religion published during his lifetime, namely, "Of Miracles", "Of a Particular Providence and a Future State", the "Natural History of Religion", and the posthumously published works "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion", "Of Suicide" and "Of the Immortality of the Soul". Topics include proofs for the existence of God, the nature of God, divine governance, morality and religion, the origin of religious ideas, and the rationality of belief in miracles.
