About this book
This third volume of Macaulay's history continues his account of late seventeenth-century Britain, covering the reign of William III after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. It suits readers interested in English political and constitutional history. *Note: The supplied subject area ("devotional") does not match this work, which is a political and constitutional history, so I described it accordingly.*
