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 third volume begins with a discussion of England’s foreign policy and the passing of the Reform Act in 1832; it closes with the fall of Lord Grey in 1834 and the dismissal of his Ministry.
