Sinopsis

Excerpt from British History, Chronologically Arranged: Comprehending a Classified Analysis of Events and Occurrences in Church and State; And of the Constitutional, Political, Commercial, Intellectual and Social Progress of the United Kingdom

Hitherto, the prevailing character of histories has been bio graphical. They are the lives of princes, rather than the records of nations. It is J ulius Caesar or Constantine, not the Roman pe0p1e or the Greek empire, that fills the page of the annalist. The common histories of England offer few exceptions to the an cient models, and the Edwards, Henries, and Richards crowd the foreground, to the almost entilge exclusion of the other and often more important characters, events, and occurrences, that really make up the body, form, and pressure of the time.
