This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from David Hume's work generally known collectively as The History of England (volumes 1–4, 1st edition, 1759–1762; volumes 5 and 6, 2nd edition, 1759), although the individual volumes have slightly different titles; the 1st editions of volumes 5 and 6 are not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume 1: The History of England, from the Invasion of Julius Cæsar to the Accession of Henry VII, volume I (archived at Google Books).
• Volume 2: The History of England, from the Invasion of Julius Cæsar to the Accession of Henry VII, volume II (archived at Google Books).
• Volume 3: The History of England, under the House of Tudor, volume I (archived at Google Books).
• Volume 4: The History of England, under the House of Tudor, volume II (archived at Google Books).
• Volume 5: The History of Great Britain, under the House of Stuart, volume I (archived at Google Books).
• Volume 6: The History of Great Britain, under the House of Stuart, volume II (archived at Google Books).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in Arabic numerals, from |volume=1 or |volume=6. (As indicated above, the actual volumes are not continuously numbered in this way.)
• |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, which starts from I in various parts of volumes.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting from the preface, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the part of a volume quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
