James Pettit Andrews, an English historian, born near Newbury, Berkshire, in 1737, died in London, Aug. 6, 1797. His most important work (which he did not live to complete) was his "History of Great Britain, connected with the Chronology of Europe." The part published commences with Caesar's invasion and ends with the accession of Edward VI. The plan of the work is peculiar, a portion of the history of England occupying one page, while the synchronous portion of the history of Europe is placed on the page opposite. He also wrote a continuation of Henry's "History of Britain" to the accession of James I. (1796), and an amusing collection of "Anecdotes" (1789).
