The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part B. by David Hume
QR code
"The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part B." by David Hume is a historical work published between 1754-1762. Written while Hume served as librarian in Edinburgh, this ambitious history spans from Julius Caesar's invasion to the Revolution of 1688. Initially met with outrage from all political factions, it became a bestseller that secured Hume's financial independence. The work legitimizes the 1688 Revolution and addresses the nature of England's constitutional
evolution, challenging views of seamless continuity from ancient precedents. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
