摘要：
In this piece, I argue that Hume wrote his Essays to continue writing on political issues after he rather abruptly ended his Treatise, Book 3. Initially he wrote some essays in the vein of Addison and Steele, but he rejected these essays as "frivolous." In writing on political issues, he became a master essayist and his essays withstood the test of time. "Political" should here be taken in the wider sense as topical issues which readers could immediately recognize as being relevant.
