Ebook: A History of England, Volume 6: From the Conclusion of the Great War in 1815

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 sixth and final volume begins with a chapter on the Crimean War (1853-1856); Walpole then follows up with sections on Britain in India and the Middle East, relations with the United States, interactions with Australia, and closes with a conclusion about the growth of Britain in the nineteenth century.
