A History of England, Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): From the Conclusion of the Great War in 1815

This useful 1890 work recounts the history of England from the end of the Napoleonic War in 1815 to the peace of Paris in 1856, following the Crimean War. A balanced yet honest six-volume history, it is Walpole’s masterpiece. Volume Two picks up with the changes in the royal family around the time of George III’s death and the drama surrounding Queen Caroline; it closes with the end of George IV’s reign and the dissolution of Parliament in 1830.
