This volume contains historical works on seventeenth and eighteenth-century England. The primary text is Armand Carrel's History of the Counter-Revolution in England (translated by William Hazlitt), examining the reigns of Charles II and James II. It is accompanied by Charles James Fox's History of the Reign of James II. The publication includes a substantial biographical memoir of Carrel (1800–1836), a French military officer turned journalist and historian. The memoir details Carrel's service in the Foreign Liberalist Legion during the Spanish constitutionalist struggle of 1823, his subsequent military trials, and his transition to historical and journalistic work under historian Augustin Thierry. The OCR text becomes illegible at the memoir's conclusion.
