Travels in France during the years 1814-15

Book cover
Sir Archibald Alison, 1st Baronet (1792-1867) was an English lawyer and a historian. After studying under a private tutor, and at the University of Edinburgh, he was, in 1814, called to the Bar, at which he ultimately attained some distinction, becoming in 1834 Sheriff of Lanarkshire. When travelling in France in 1814 he conceived the idea of his Modern History of Europe from the French Revolution to the Fall of Napoleon, which deals with the period from the outbreak of the French Revolution to the restoration of the Bourbons, and extends, in its original form (1833-42), to 10 volumes. Patrick Fraser Tytler (1791-1849) Scottish historian, son of Lord Woodhouselee, was born in Edinburgh, where he attended the Royal High School. He was called to the bar in 1813; in 1816 he became King's counsel in the Exchequer, and practised as an advocate until 1832. Tytler is most noted for his literary output. He contributed to Alison's Travels in France (1815); his first independent essays were papers in Blackwood's Magazine. His great work, the History of Scotland (1828-1843) covered the period between 1249 and 1603.
