David Hume is one of the most elegant of the philosophers, so his quotes are well worth reading from a purely literary sense. He is ... one of the most important philosophers to write on metaphysics, as he makes it clear that until we know the causal connection between things all knowledge is empirical / inductive and thus uncertain (the current state of modern physics).

As young Malthus grew up, he was strongly influenced by his father's friend David Hume. Hume was a famous philosopher and historian, but he was definitely NOT a follower of Rousseau. To generalize, Hume believed that people were not particularly good or nice, and that if they were not taught carefully how to act, then they would act badly and life would tend to be bad. It's pretty much the opposite viewpoint from Rousseau's.
