Produktbeschreibung

This useful 1890 work recounts the history of England from the end of the Napoleonic War in 1815 to the peace of Paris in 1856, following the Crimean War. A balanced yet honest six-volume history, it is Walpole's masterpiece. The fifth volume picks up with Sir Robert Peel's administration and the year 1842; it closes with the budget panic in 1851-2 and the arguments between Whigs, Conservatives, and Peelites.
