The editor was not Archibald Constable's son David, as his father had intended and as was originally recorded in the NLS catalogue, but was in fact carried out by Cosmo Innes, the advocate and antiquary who edited a number of works for the Bannatyne Club (see David Fate Norton and Mary J. Norton in Hume Studies vol. 33 no. 2, November 2007). David Constable, who had inherited the printing works of his grandfather, David Willison, was however involved in the printing of the edition, as is recorded in the colophons of vols 1-4 "Printed by J. Hutchison, for the heirs of D. Willison."
