Constitutional History of England, Henry VII to George II (Vol. 1-3)

Constitutional History of England, from Henry VII to George II is a three volume work concerning political history of England. The work deals with major institutional features of society: the feudal system, the ecclesiastical system, and the political system of England, portraying society, commerce, manners, and literature. The author covers the period from late 15th to mid-18th century, namely from the accession of Henry VII, carrying it down to the accession of George III, stopping here because he was unwilling to touch on issues of contemporary politics.
