ヨーロッパ史
When travelling in France in 1814 he conceived the idea of his expansive "History of Europe from the commencement of the French revolution to the restoration of the Bourbons". This multi-volume set is usually regarded as Alison's chief historical work and is considered to be the first scholarly English-language study of the French Revolution. Published in ten volumes between 1833 and 1843, "History of Europe" was revised and reprinted many times throughout the century, including numerous foreign language editions. The work is one of vast industry, "contain[ing] a wealth of information communicated in a vigorous though wordy style."
