The History of England from the Accession of James II

by Thomas Babington Macaulay, Hannah More Macaulay Trevelyan (Editor)

Overview

Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859) won instantaneous and outstanding success in prose poetry, in politics and oratory. His History, translated throughout Europe and achieving sales in America second only to the Bible, immediately became the canon of historical orthodoxy, replacing previous histories so completely that it is now difficult to see past its long and apparently effortless triumph.
