About This Book
A chronological survey of England's political evolution from the Revolution at the end of the seventeenth century through early nineteenth-century developments, detailing the shift toward a constitutional monarchy. It traces the establishment of parliamentary supremacy and party-government, the impact of recurring European wars and imperial expansion on policy and finance, and reforms in revenue, banking, and administration that underpinned state power. Organized by successive administrations and episodes, the narrative situates legal and ecclesiastical settlements, popular and elite politics, and diplomatic and military crises within a framework of institutional change, supported by maps and recommended authorities.
