The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol.II.
Continued from the Reign of William and Mary to the Death of George II.
This second volume of The History of England in Three Volumes is Tobias Smollett's continuation of David Hume, carrying the story from the Revolution of 1688 to the death of George II in 1760. Smollett, better known as the novelist of Roderick Random, wrote his history rapidly in the 1750s, and it became the standard sequel to Hume for a century. The volume covers William and Mary and the war in Ireland, the reign of Anne and Marlborough's campaigns, the Union with Scotland, the accession of the Hanoverians, Walpole's long ministry, the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Seven Years' War and the conquests in India and Canada, closing with a survey of commerce, religion, learning and the arts under George II.
