Anthony Hope has written two kinds of stories; one interesting for the civilised detail, the other for the situation and plot. When we read the first kind we do not care about the result, and we don't get excited.

Description
David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume's dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative.
