A Synoptical History of England: With the Contemporaneous Sovereigns and Events of General History, From the Earliest Records to the Present Time by Llewelyn C. Burt (Second Hand Book)

Description SECOND HAND BOOK Second edition The author has attempted to present to the reader the events of English and general history through tables and epitomes of English history.  Through a chronology of sovereigns , chief characteristics of their reign, leading events of periods under review and summaries of principal occurrences in contemporaneous history, it was hoped that readers could trace the connections between events of each epoch of English history and those of corresponding periods in the history of other nations. At the end of each Line of Kings a rapid sketch is given of important constitutional and legal changes. The last of the summaries exhibits a complete view of the present state of the British Empire and of the condition of its people. The Genealogies of the several lines are also given, and Tables of the Battles of the Civil Wars, and of the principal Treaties and Statutes, are appended to the Volume. Specifications: Condition: fair, some repair to the spine of the book, and extensive scuffing of the front and back cover. Some foxing on some of the pages.
