Historian Henry Hallam's sweeping study of the constitutional history of England tells the story of the development of England's constitution from its early days until the death of George II in 1760. The author examines developments that occurred under each reign as well as other events that affected the evolution of the constitution. Engrossing and exhaustive, these three volumes are excellent reading for anyone passionate about English history. This second volume continues with Hallam's discussion of the Constitution beginning with King Charles II's reaction to the dissolution of his Parliament to the King's death.
