The History of England, from the Accession of James II — Volume 3 by Macaulay

"The History of England, from the Accession of James II — Volume 3" by Macaulay is a historical work published in 1848. This volume continues Macaulay's innovative chronicle of England's transformation between 1685 and 1702, covering the tumultuous Glorious Revolution and the reign of William III and Mary II. Macaulay blends dramatic classical storytelling with factual rigor, championing a progressive vision of England shedding autocracy for constitutional balance and freedom. His confident, sometimes controversial Whig interpretation presents history as a grand drama of heroes and villains. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
