Kings, politicians, accomplishments, and failures are detailed in this engrossing seven-volume history of England between 1713 and 1783. What emerges is a colorful portrait of an era, dominated not by dates and facts but by people and momentous events. In the final volume, Mahon closes his history with the years 1780-1783. The volume begins with an economical reform in England and the campaign in North America. Mahon finishes the series with the acknowledgement of “George III and John Adams as Minister” of the United States, war and then peace in India, and a final chapter on life and manners in England around the year 1783—including people, places, politics, and progress.
