The Dundas Despotism | Michael Fry | John Donald Publishers | 2004 | Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811) and his son Robert, 2nd Viscount Melville (1771-1851) presided over what has been called the "Dundas Despotism". The father was known as the "uncrowned King of Scotland" on account of the many important government positions he occupied and his ability to manipulate so many people. His influence and powers of patronage even allowed him to determine much of what happened in India. The son took over this mantle and continued to use it for his own advantage. This biography challenges the commonly-held perceptions of these autocrats, preferring to paint them as inheritors of the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment. | 1375 |
