A revered Professor of Scots Law at University of Edinburgh with achievements that include his appointment as Baron of the Scots Exchequer in 1822 Baron Hume was ""influenced by the views of his uncle David Hume the philosopher with whom he had a close friendship. The elder had supervised his education"" Criminal Law 47n. Baron Hume ""laid the foundations of our modern criminal law"" British Justice Hamlyn Lectures. This rare complete five-volume set of Commentaries including the rarely found Supplemental Notes provides ""the classic statement of Scottish criminal law"" Kilday Women and Violent Crime 32. With this groundbreaking ""standard work on Scottish criminal law"" DNB Baron Hume ""carried the torch into all the recesses of actual practice. He not only made himself familiar with all the scattered matter that had been published though much of it lay hid in places not commonly explored; but he was the very first who went systematically to the records"" Edinburgh Review 83:197. To Sir Walter Scott Baron Hume was ""an architect to the law of Scotland' Scott on Himself 42. Hume's lectures at the University of Edinburgh provided the basis of these works.To his contemporaries the Commentaries and Hume's authoritative research into ""the rise and progress of this law will ever be held to communicate the most philosophical views of the criminal law in a popular and perspicuous manner"" Edinburgh Law Journal I:485. Hume importantly highlights as well ""the differences between Scottish and English laws shaping the former into a symbol of cultural and national identity for England's 'bloody code' of hundreds of offenses punishable by death did not extend to Scotland. The differences were celebrated in Hume's Commentaries"" Hewitt 52 44. ""The first study of judicial decisions"" in Scottish criminal law Commentaries has been officially ""afforded 'authoritative' status"" Gibb & DuffCriminal Justice Systems 7. Hume particularly focused on common law. Like ""Blackstone and Bentham in England Kames and Hume in Scotland were intensely engaged by the question of whether and how the common-law system of maintaining continuity through precedent and of accommodating change through reinterpretation could meet the demands of 18th- and early 19th-century Britain As Farmer explains 'The belief that the law matured in the late 18th century taking the form of liberal and flexible principles was set out clearly for the first time by Hume. Hume affirms the sense that the past had been leading more progressively to a more enlightened present A lasting result of Hume's book and its outlook . strongly implies the autonomy of criminal law from the rest of culture"" Bardsley Belief and Beyond 235-239. ""Indeed Hume still has high status in Scottish legal history. According to Walker . 'his examination based on primary sources is invaluable"" Bardsley Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities V14 2002:238-9 20-21n.
