" William Guthrie (1708-1770) was a Scottish writer and journalist, now remembered as a historian. About 1764-7 he published, along with collaborators, A General History of the World , from the Creation to the Present Time, in twelve volumes; this was favourably noticed in The Critical Review, it was said by the author himself. "
