This landmark four-volume historical narrative presents Thomas Babington Macaulay’s sweeping account of England’s transformation from the Restoration to the early 18th century. Macaulay argues for the triumph of constitutional government, Protestant ascendancy, and civil liberty, casting the Glorious Revolution as a pivotal moment in national progress. With rhetorical force and literary polish, he chronicles political upheaval, religious conflict, and the rise of parliamentary power, drawing vivid portraits of monarchs, ministers, and reformers. The work shaped Victorian historical thought and remains a cornerstone of Whig historiography. This 1850 seventh edition reflects both Macaulay’s enduring influence and the period’s appetite for grand historical synthesis.
