Power changes hands; a nation is remade. Between the Glorious Revolution and the death of George II, England discovers what it means to be modern. History here feels fiercely alive. In The History of England, From the Revolution to the Death of George the Second (Volume III), Tobias George Smollett continues his classic English history book with a vivid narrative political history of a kingdom in transition. Drawing together court intrigue, party conflict and foreign war, he examines how the Hanoverian succession reshaped the British monarchy and Parliament, and how decisions in London echoed across Europe. Written by a contemporary of David Hume, this is both a compelling narrative for general readers and a solid reference for historians studying England 1688-1760 and the George II era history. Smollett's History of England stands as a monument of 18th-century scholarship and historiography, a cornerstone for readers of David Hume, and an essential resource for British history students seeking a comprehensive British history volume on the era of the Glorious Revolution England underwent and the Hanoverian succession history it set in motion. As part of the Smollett History of England series, this study of the British monarchy and Parliament remains accessible for casual readers while offering depth for scholars and for British history students. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
