Nicolas Tindal played a significant role in popularizing Paul de Rapin's "History of England" by translating it into English. His translation, which was published in 14 volumes from 1727, made Rapin's work accessible to a broader English-speaking audience. Tindal not only translated but also continued Rapin's history, bringing it up to the accession of George II, thus providing a more complete historical narrative for his readers. This endeavor was influential in shaping the understanding of English history in the 18th century. As indicated by the sources, Tindal's translation was seminal, and his efforts in continuing the work were substantial, contributing to the popularity and impact of Rapin's history during that era.
