William Mace (died 1767) was an English Gresham Professor of Law, from 1744, [1] and Fellow of the Royal Society.
Mace is known also for philosophical interests, where he has been considered a follower of George Berkeley, and a thinker who anticipated David Hume. He was a correspondent of Francis Hutcheson. His views on the mind-body problem, Hutcheson reports, were in circulation in Dublin. [2] [3] He also was in touch with John Colson, and associated with Ephraim Chambers. [4]
Mace has frequently been confused with Daniel Mace, the real author of the anonymous New Testament in Greek and English of 1729. [1]
