The History of America (1777) is regarded as "the first sustained attempt to describe the discovery, conquest and settlement of Spanish America since Herrera's Décadas."

Until the 1840s, this book "held its place as the standard history of the discovery of the New World." It is highly regarded for its vivid descriptions.
William Robertson is regarded, along with David Hume and Edward Gibbon, as one of the most important British historians of the 18th century.
