History: earliest times to present day

Paperback. For two hundred years historians have viewed England's Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689 as an un-revolutionary revolution - bloodless, consensual, aristocratic, and above all, sensible.

Series: The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-century Culture & History. Num Pages: 664 pages, 72 scattered black-&-white illustrations. BIC Classification: 3JD; HBJD1; HBLH; HBTV. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 254 x 177 x 36. Weight in Grams: 1144.
