Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 1983. — 549 p. — ISBN 0-86597-019-X (series); 0-86597-026-2 (Volume II)The History of England (1754–61) is David Hume's great work on the history of England, which he wrote in installments while he was librarian to the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh. It was published in six volumes in 1754, 1756, 1759, and 1761. The first publication of his History was greeted with outrage by all political factions, but it became a best-seller, finally giving him the financial independence he had long sought. Both the British Library and the Cambridge University Library, as well as Hume's own library, still list him as "David Hume, the historian." Hume's History spanned "from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688" and went through over 100 editions. Many considered it the standard history of England in its day.ContentsHenry IIISettlement of the government General pacification Death of the protector Some commotions Hubert de Burgh displaced The bishop of Winchester minister King's partiality to foreigners Grievances Ecclesiastical grievances Earl of Cornwal, elected king of the Romans Discontent of the barons Simon de Mountfort earl of Leicester Provisions of Oxford Usurpation of the barons Prince Edward Civil wars of the barons Reference to the king of France Renewal of the civil wars Battle of Lewes House of commons Battle of Evesham and death of Leicester Settlement of the government Death- and character of the king Miscellaneous transactшons of this reignEdward ICivil administration of the king Conquest of Wales Affairs of Scotland Competitors for the crown of Scotland Reference to Edward Homage of Scotland Award of Edward in favour of Baliol War with France Digression concerning the constitution of parliament War with Scotland Scotland subdued War with France Dissensions with the clergy Arbitrary measures Peace with France Revolt of Scotland That kingdom again subdued again revolts and again subdued Robert Bruce Third revolt of Scotland Death -
