The Constitutional History of England from the Accession of Henry VII to the Death of George II Summary

The Constitutional History of England from the Accession of Henry VII to the Death of George II by Henry Hallam

Henry Hallam (1777-1859) was educated at King's College, Cambridge, and turned to the study of history and literature after tiring of the legal profession. In his first book, A View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages (1818), he documents the development of the English constitution until the end of the fifteenth century. A direct continuation of this theme, and Hallam's most famous book, this two-volume work covers a three-century period from the reign of Henry VII to the death of George II in 1760. First published in 1827, it focuses on the history of the laws and institutions of England (including the Church of England); its somewhat arbitrary cut-off point was chosen because Hallam hoped to avoid the stirring of political passions then still in the recent past. Volume 2 covers the period 1642-1760, and includes chapters on the constitutions of Scotland and of Ireland.

10. From the breaking out of the Civil War to the Restoration; 11. From the Restoration of Charles the Second to the fall of the Cabal administration; 12. Earl of Danby's administration; 13. On the state of the constitution under Charles II; 14. The reign of James II; 15. On the reign of William III; 16. On the state of the constitution in the reigns of Anne, George I and George II; 17. On the constitution of Scotland; 18. On the constitution of Ireland.
