To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed, to complete the scope of our subject, we need French and English Literature 2 1 5 not leave Scotland ; for, from Walter Scott's handling of history to history itself there is but a step. At the end of last century, of Britain's greatest historians two were Scots Hume and Robertson ; the third, Gibbon, QfrtL~-p .
was hardly English at all.
Edinburgh was then rising to the pinnacle of its reputation ; the intellectual atmosphere was suffused with light. The philosophic systems built by th...e French out of premises laid by Locke, the social and national histories substituted by Montesquieu and Voltaire for chronicles, theretofore mainly military and feudal, appealed strongly to the brilliant wits in Scot- land's capital. The French spirit was so ingrained in James' Court, that Edinburgh ministers with a turn for history could not, without quarrelling with their best work, have disowned their obligations to Voltaire. When Robertson and Hume had written their works, the rare sight was witnessed of their greater popularity in Paris than in London.
