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.
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.
