"The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part A." by David Hume is a historical work published between 1754-1762. Written while Hume served as librarian in Edinburgh, this monumental history spans from Julius Caesar's invasion to the Revolution of 1688. Initially met with outrage from all political factions, it became a bestseller that established the standard for English history. Hume's central concern was legitimizing the 1688 Revolution and creating a philosophical framework that could unite Whigs and former Jacobites in understanding Britain's modern constitutional foundations.
