1856 HISTORY of ENGLAND by T.MACAULAY antique AMERICAN EDITION Philadelphia

The History of England from the Accession of James the Second is the full title of the work by Lord Macaulay (1800–1859), more generally known as The History of England. It covers the 17-year period from 1685 to 1702, encompassing the reign of James II, the Glorious Revolution, the coregency of William III and Mary II, and up to William III's death.

Macaulay's approach to writing the History was innovative for his period. He consciously fused the picturesque, dramatic style of classical historians such as Thucydides and Tacitus with the learned and factual approach of his 18th-century precursors such as Hume, following the plan laid out in his own 1828 "Essay on History".
