This book considers the relations between James Mill's "History of British India" (1818) and Enlightenment historiography, especially William Robertson's "Historical Disquisition Concerning the Knowledge the Ancients had of India" (1791), arguing that it was in "The History of British India" that Mill first published his theory of government, which appears there in his account of 'Oriental despotism' and his criticisms of Robertson's account of the caste system, and that, contrary to the opinion of certain critics, Mill's usage of 'history' in "The History of British India" is not rationalist but rather entails a distinctively empiricist conception of the relationship between historical records and the improvement of government.
