His claim to fame, however, consists in the influence he exerted upon Russian Jews. Like Levinsohn, he was a constructive force.

Hume loudly inveighed against the ministry in the House of Commons for not sending Government advertisements to The Times, instead of to other journals, which did not enjoy a tithe of its circulation.
