From the back cover:

Further Letters of David Hume represents the largest publication of new letters by David Hume since 1954. Drawn from more than twenty archives and libraries worldwide, the letters cover three decades of Hume’s adult life (1746-76) and significantly enrich our understanding of Hume’s biography and circle during this extraordinary period. Supplementing the letters are nine appendices, including the first census of Hume’s manuscripts outside of the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s renowned Hume deposit. A landmark in modern Hume scholarship, Further Letters of David Hume will be essential reading for any serious scholar of Hume’s life and thought.

Members’ copies should have been received by June 2014.
