Summary: "The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. II." by Tobias Smollett is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume focuses on the events surrounding the reign of William and Mary, covering the period from the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution to the death of George II. The narrative delves into the political changes, social conflicts, and significant battles that occurred during this transformative era in English history. The opening portion of this volume details the state of England immediately after the Revolution and the corresponding transformation of its constitution. It explains how the monarchy's power was redefined in light of the new parliamentary authority and the political dynamics among various factions such as the Whigs and Tories. Key events, such as the coronation of William III and the early challenges faced by his administration—including mutinies in the army and contentious parliamentary debates—are introduced. The reader is given insight into the tensions between the monarchy and parliament, as well as the societal implications of these shifts, setting the stage for the broader conflicts explored in the subsequent chapters.
