The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part B.
From Henry III. to Richard III.
by David Hume
"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.
