It was compiled by John Watkins writer John Watkins , LL.D., and published by Longman , Rees Orme, Brown and Green. Entry on Hume The dictionary is notable for its entry on the philosopher David Hume , which notes that he published the Treatise in London in 1738, but its reception not answering his expectations, he printed a small analysis of it, in a sixpenny pamphlet, to make it sell . Because the pamphlet A Treatise of Human Nature Abstract An Abstract of the Treatise of Human Nature was published anonymously, it is not known how the author of the article came by this information. Norman Kemp Smith has speculated that the firm of Longman s, who published both Watkin s dictionary, and volume III of the A Treatise of Human Nature , was the channel through which the tradition of Hume s authorship of the Abstract was preserved ref Norman Kemp Smith, Mind 1938 ref .

  1. Biographical fallacy

    The biographical fallacy is a term used in cultural criticism to critique the view that works of creative art, literature or music can be interpreted as reflections of the life of their authors. ref name winslow cite book last Winslow first Donald J. authorlink Donald James Winslow title Life writing a glossary of terms in biography, autobiography, and related forms publisher University of Hawaii Press location Honolulu date 1995 edition 2 page 7 ref Along with the intentional fallacy , the term was introduced by exponents of the New Criticism who wished to emphasise that artworks should be interpreted and assessed as constructed artefacts rather than expressions of the emotions of specific individuals. The term is thus used to criticize the school of literary interpretation called Biographical criticism . The argument arose from the increasing tendency of critics during the 19th century to view artworks in terms of the life experiences of their creators, whether their personal lives, or the wider historical conditions represented in the artist s world view, a claim associated with critics such as Hippolyte Taine . ref Wolfenstein, Martha, The Social Background of Taine s Philosophy of Art, Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 5, No. 3. 1944 , 335. ref This position ref was referred to as a fallacy on the grounds that it neglected both the purely imaginative aspects of the arts and their reliance on formal conventions and rules of genre .
