Donald L. M. Baxter??'s meticulous attention to textual detail yields a highly original interpretation of some of the most neglected or maligned parts of Hume??'s Treatise. The book will be useful to those interested in the metaphysics of identity and time, and the epistemology of metaphysics, and will be indispensable to Hume scholars, who have lacked an in-depth treatment of these crucial and intricate issues.
