Hume published a Hebrew grammar in
Hamburg, in 1624. On the title-page of his
Pantaleonis Vaticinia Satyra, dated
Rouen, 1633, Hume is called "Med. Doctor". The
Satyra is a Latin romance, imitating
John Barclay's
Argenis. but is crude. It is dedicated to
Robert Kerr, 1st Earl of Ancram, and has an historical appendix on contemporary affairs, mostly German. In 1634 Hume printed in Latin
Prœlium ad Lipsiam,
Gustavus Magnus,
De Reditu Ducis Aureliensis ex Flandria, as an appendix to his father's
De Unione Insulæ Britanniæ (Paris). Some Latin verses in the same book accuse
Morinus of plagiarism for having used some proofs of theorems given by Hume to
John Napier. There are also two non-mathematical works,
De Horologiis and
Grammatica Hebræa. A translation of one of his works into French, apparently his
De Arte muniendi more Gallico, appeared under the title ''Fortifications Françaises d'une Méthode facile''. ==See also==
