About this title

Synopsis:

Excerpt from History of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Revolution to the Accession of the House of Hanover The Volumes of this History subsequent to the Brunswick accession, now arrived, through the unexpected favor of the Public, at a third and enlarged Edition, have by Censors, to whose judgment respect is due, been objected against as "deficient in authorities." To this accusation it is obvious to answer, that nothing would have been easier than to fill the margin and a great part of every page with historical references and citations. But this parade of authorities would too evidently have swelled the size without adding to the value of the Work; for the Author pretended not to the merit of making new discoveries.

Excerpt from History of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Revolution to the Accession of the House of Hanover

In relation to the prefent volumes, it mufl: fulfice to fay that the Author has deviated little, if at all, from his original plan. Where he has varied from the earlier hif tories, he has not merely referred to but quoted his authorities which are chiefly Sir John Dalrymple and Mr. Maherfon; to whom the Public owe great obligation for their interefiing and important commu nications. Ralph is a vaft {lorehoufe of hifioric information; and his minute and laudable accuracy as an annalifi, makes ample compenfation for his literary defects.
