Book Synopsis The Dundas Despotism by : Michael Fry
Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive biography of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811) and his son Robert. Although their period of government was to be dubbed 'the Dundas Despotism' the author shows that both father and son sought to achieve good government within the accepted political conventions of the age.
