Om denne boken

"The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part F." by David Hume is a historical work published between 1754-1762. Written while Hume served as librarian in Edinburgh, this monumental history spans from Julius Caesar's invasion to the Revolution of 1688. Initially met with outrage from all political factions, it became a bestseller that established the standard history of England for generations. Hume sought to legitimize the 1688 Revolution and appeal to both Whigs and former Jacobites in a politically turbulent era.
