Andrew Bisset (28 November 1801 in Montrose, Angus – 28 February 1891 Fortis Green, London), was a Scottish barrister and historical writer. His writing was an influence on Henry George, who cites Bisset’s Strength of Nations, in the notes to Progress and Poverty.

Life

He graduated B.A. from Magdalene College, Cambridge in 1826.[1] He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1839.[2]

He was a researcher for Richard Cobden, probably from the early 1840s, preparing a report in 1845 on agricultural districts.[3][4] In the 1850s he worked for the Anti-Corn Law League; his father-in-law was T. P. Thompson, of the League. He had a commission to write on English history, particularly land law.[5] His later writings moved into Parliamentary history.
