Archibald Alison (1792-1867) was a deeply conservative Scottish historian who viewed political reform and democracy with suspicion. His History of Europe during the French Revolution was published after the Reform Act of 1832, and regarded the democratic ideals of the early revolutionaries as leading to Europe-wide anarchy.
