This book is a collection of correspondence between a number of David Hume's acquaintances, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The letters are primarily centered around the falling out between the two philosophers. Rousseau accused Hume of inventing a plan of refuge in England with the true motive of ruining Rousseau. Hume, who had been a strong proponent of Rousseau's radical philosophies, was deeply offended.
