Abstract

“In France and Italy no Body ever drinks pure Wine, except in the greatest Heats of Summer”, declares Hume in Of National Characters. Did he read it or drink it? The essay is published at the end of November 1748, when Hume is coming back from Turin. Agreeably to his own recommendations (“we should not comprehend every Individual under the same Character”) in 1753 he pours some water into his words: “few drink pure Wine.”
