He studied medicine and joined the army, moving to India in 1797 where he acquired native languages and worked as commissary general. He made a fortune in India and on his return entered politics, in which arena he spent the rest of his life. He initially voted as a Tory, and was particularly known for his careful scrutiny of government expenditures and the public purse in general. As time went on, however, he was identified with more liberal causes, including Catholic Emancipation and the extension of voting rights. The common man found an ally in Hume for his positions against flogging in the army and impressments of sailors, and against imprisonment for debt.
