Edition: Pissot, Bookseller
Place of publication: Paris
Date of edition: 1780
4 volumes in-12 (out of 5), no plates
William Robertson (1721-1793) is one of the greatest historians of Enlightenment Scotland. His "History of America", originally published in 1777, is a monumental work that analyzes the discovery and colonization of Spanish America. Translated into French by Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Suard and the Abbé Morellet, this work enjoyed immense success in France. It is distinguished by a philosophical approach to history, seeking to explain the development of civilizations (notably Mexican and Peruvian) through the prism of human progress, while relying on rich Spanish documentation often unpublished at the time.
