The History of England from the Accession of James II is the five-volume work by Lord Macaulay. It covers the 17-year period from 1685 to 1702, encompassing the reign of James II, the Glorious Revolution, the coregency of William III and Mary II, and up to William IIIs death. Macaulays approach to writing the History was innovative for his period. He consciously fused the picturesque, dramatic style of classical historians such as Thucydides and Tacitus with the learned and factual approach of his 18th-century precursors such as Hume, following the plan laid out in his own 1828 "Essay on History".The History is famous for its brilliant ringing prose and for its confident, sometimes dogmatic, emphasis on a progressive model of British history. According to this view, England threw off superstition, autocracy and confusion to create a balanced constitution and a forward-looking culture combined with freedom of belief and expression.

David Humes "The History of England" spans six comprehensive volumes that meticulously chronicle the development of English history from the invasion of Julius Caesar until the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Humes narrative integrates a blend of meticulous historical detail with philosophical insights, employing a prose style that is both accessible and engaging. His work breaks away from the antiquated annals of historical writing by offering a more analytical approach, weaving together political, social, and cultural narratives that illuminate the interplay of events and characters, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals that defined his era. David Hume (1711-1776) was a key figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, known for his philosophical inquiries and skepticism about human understanding. His wide-ranging intellectual interests, including economics, religion, and human nature, significantly influenced his historical writing. Humes intention was to provide a comprehensive and rational account of EnglandAos past, presenting it as a reflection of larger human experiences and moral lessons. This scholarly work is essential for readers seeking a deeper understanding of English history, as well as for those interested in the evolution of historical writing itself. It serves as both a historical reference and a philosophical exploration, making it a valuable addition to any library.

Fenianism was the Irish separatist movement committed to winning Irish freedom through revolution. Defeated often, its tremendous resilience enabled it to rise time and again, phoenix-like, until it eventually inspired the 1916 Easter Rising, soon followed by an Irish War of Independence that finally established an Irish Free State.The Fenian Rising vividly describes the evolution of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and its American counterpart, the Fenian Brotherhood, two revolutionary organisations dedicated to overthrowing British rule in Ireland and establishing an Irish Republic. Led by James Stephens, nineteenth-century Irelands most important revolutionary, the IRB rapidly became an increasingly serious threat which Dublin Castle struggled unsuccessfully for years to suppress. Despite Stephenss downfall in January 1867 the long-anticipated rising followed two months later.In spite of its failure, republicans snatched political victory from the jaws of defeat when in September 1867 the execution of the Manchester Martyrs galvanised every shade of Irish nationalism. Rising from the ashes, the IRB survived to eventually become what one historian has called the most enduring and successful revolutionary secret society in Europe.

This fascinating book discusses the role of the United Kingdom during the American Civil War. Officially, the UK stayed neutral throughout the war. They also legally recognised the belligerent status of the Confederate States of America (CSA), though never recognising it as a nation. Neither did the UK sign a treaty with it nor ever exchanged ambassadors. Over 90 percent of Confederate trade with Britain ended, causing a severe shortage of cotton. Private British blockade runners sent munitions and luxuries to Confederate ports in return for cotton and tobacco. Public opinion was divided over the war, with support for the Confederacy tending to emanate from the upper class while the middle and lower classes mostly favored the Union.
