The History of England
From the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688By David Hume
Length125h 1m
About this audiobook
Originally published in 6 volumes, "The History of England from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688" has gone through over 100 editions.
David Hume saw English history as an evolution from a government of will to a government of law, which makes The History a study of enduring value to the modern reader.
David Hume's reputation in philosophy tends to obscure the fact that among his contemporaries "The History of England" was his most successful work and to this day both the British Library and the Cambridge University Library continue to list him as "David Hume, historian."
David Hume and Thomas Babington Macaulay have frequently been compared as the premier English historians but we don't have to choose because Macaulay begins where Hume leaves off.
