Bellot's comprehensive narrative reveals Knox as a person—one whose Calvinist heritage and Scots-Irish upbringing profoundly influenced his view of empire—and as a historical actor and witness. Here is a look at the events of the revolutionary period through the eyes of a British bureaucrat who had a significant role in both the formation and the execution of British policy.

This perspective also provides an excellent case study of the operation of the eighteenth-century British bureaucracy. October 2, Imprint: Most users should sign in with their email address.
