Alongside Gibbon and Hume, William Robertson was the most popular
British historian of the 18th century. A key figure of the Scottish
Enlightenment, Robertson was both leader of the Moderate Party in
the Church of Scotland and principal of the University of
Edinburgh. A prominent debater, Robertson's importance has emerged
again in the light of original research 200 years after his death
in 1793. This 12-volume set incorporates Robertson's final
corrections and revisions for each of the four histories and the
published sermon. Besides the major works, the set includes
miscellaneous writings and speeches by Robertson and several
biographical and critical works about him taken from scarce
pamphlets and periodicals. With new introductions, including one on
Robertson as historian, and the other providing a biographical and
bibliographical commentary, this set should be useful to scholars
of historiography and the social, ecclesiastical and intellectual
history of the Scottish Enlightenment.
