Archibald Alison (1792 1867) was a Scottish historian with a
particular interest in the French Revolution. He wrote from a
deeply conservative standpoint and was a fierce opponent of the
1832 Reform Act. Although mocked by Disraeli in Coningsby as 'Mr
Wordy', he wrote works which became bestsellers in the nineteenth
century. This ten-volume History of Europe during the French
Revolution, published between 1833 and 1842, regarded the French
Revolution as the origin of all that was wrong with modern Europe.
Alison feared that while Britain had escaped revolution in 1789,
democratic reform could still lead to anarchy, as in the French
July Revolution of 1830. Although criticised by Acton and J. S.
Mill for his methodology, Alison has more recently been studied by
scholars for insights into nineteenth-century historiography.
