1806 History of INDIA Asia Egypt Hindustan Robertson Scottish Enlightenment



William Robertson was a notable 18th-century Scottish historian, and, according to Humphreys, ‘made significant contributions to the writing of Scottish history and the history of Spain and Spanish America.’ While Robertson was most known for his histories of America and Great Britain, he also published an historical account of India.



In this work, ‘An Historical Disquisition Concerning the Knowledge of India’, Robertson explored the commercial and cultural connections India had with the West through the end of the 15th-century. According to Stewart Brown, this work

“represents one of the more significant achievements of the late Scottish Enlightenment.”
