Fünfter Band" by Thomas Babington Macaulay is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the political turmoil and significant events surrounding the reign of King James II of England, focusing on the changing sentiments among political factions leading up to the Glorious Revolution. At the start of the fifth volume, Macaulay sets the stage by discussing the crucial events of June 13, 1688, highlighting the growing discontent among the Tories regarding the legitimacy of resisting a king's authority. The narrative unfolds as key figures, like Russell and the Prince of Orange, strategize about a possible landing in England amidst rising tensions surrounding the birth of an heir and the King's subsequent abuses of power. The opening establishes the context of political intrigue, escalating dissatisfaction with James II, and the impending change in governance, as various protagonists prepare to take decisive actions.
