Essays on Suicide and the Immortality of the Soul
by David Hume
Early editions of Hume's Essays omitted these two brilliant but dangerous articles. Even though Hume continued to write in his accustomed ironic mood, and to use the arguments of the theologians in an ad hominem manner against their own positions, he must have known he was on perilous ground.
Added to these essays are 'Two Letters on Suicide' from Rousseau's Eloisa.

David Hume (7 May 1711 [26 April O.S.] – 25 August 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, known especially for his philosophical empiricism and skepticism. He is regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume is often grouped with John Locke, George Berkeley, and a handful of others as a British Empiricist. Source: [English Wikipedia][1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hume
