1698 Glorious Revolution of 1688 1ed
Compleat History of Europe England King James
David Jones was a 17th-century English historian who is primarily
remembered for describing two monumental European events – the 1688 Glorious
Revolution and the Hanoverian Succession in 1714. The Glorious Revolution
spurred his greatest work – “A Compleat History
of Europe…from 1676 to 1697” – which would become a periodical because of
its popularity in the 18th-century. According to Snyder, Jones’ 1698
masterpiece was written
“as a chronological narrative. Rather than
treating his material topically, he described his efforts properly as annals…
This work, like all true historical works, is essentially a compilation
drawn from contemporary tracts and books, monthlies, newspapers, and any
source that came to hand. This is at once the greatest virtue and limitation of
his laborious compositions. It preserves a wide variety contemporary accounts
of events in a convenient, easy to consult reference work.
