Description
This 6-volume set of The History of England by David Hume covers almost 1,800 years, from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688. The work established Hume?? reputation in his own time, presenting his view of English history as an evolution from government of will to government of law. Hume believed that political, social, and economic liberty were contingent and dependent on understanding the conditions that gave rise to them and the institutional arrangements that sustain them.
