Author: Henry Hallam
Title: The Constitutional History of England from the Accession of Henry VII to the Death of George II
Description: London , John Murray, 1854. Leather. Hallam's history of England from the fifteenth century to the late eighteenth century. Seventh edition. The Constitutional History of England takes up the subject at the point at which it had been dropped in the View of the Middle Ages, namely the accession of Henry VII, and carries it down to the accession of George III. Hallam stopped here because he was unwilling to touch on issues of contemporary politics which seemed to him to run back through the whole period of the reign of George III. Hallam, like Macaulay, ultimately referred political questions to the standard of Whig constitutionalism. But he was conscientious with his materials; and it was this which made the Constitutional History one of the standard text-books of English politics. Complete in three volumes. In full calf bindings. Externally sound, though with some marks and rubbing. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright, though with some foxing heavier to first and last few pages. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
