It is difficult for a man to speak long of himself without vanity; therefore I shall be short. It may be thought an instance of vanity that I pretend at all to write my life; but this narrative shall contain little more than the history of my writings; as, indeed, almost all my life has been spent in literary pursuits and occupations. The first success of most of my writings was not such as to be an object of vanity. I was born the 26th of April, 1711, old style, at Edinburgh.

Since this e-text format does not allow use of the original superscripts to denote the lettered footnotes they are indicated by the relevant letter within brackets thus a and the footnotes themselves are reproduced within brackets and preceded by FN at the end of the PARAGRAPH to which they relate since some of Hume s paragraphs are considerably longer than is normal in 21st century American or British writing you may have to scroll some distance to find the text of the footnote. All footnotes are reproduced exactly as in the printed text. More discretion has been exercised regarding marginal notes. Those which simply repeat chapter numbers and dates already given in the text are omitted as non-essential clutter. The remainder are reproduced within brackets and preceded by MN . Those marginal notes which appear to correspond to sub-chapter headings are reproduced as the first line of the paragraph to which they relate. Other marginal notes are reproduced within the text of the paragraph. Some apparently incomplete marginal notes ending or beginning with ellipses are due to cases where what is logically a single marginal note has been broken .
