A History of Our Own Times, Volume 1 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Justin Huntly McCarthy

Overview

In these seven volumes, published in 1908, Justin McCarthy takes on the contemporary history of England with an unbiased yet unflinching eye. This politically moderate, even-tempered work is an ambitious yet brilliant piece of history. The first volume begins with the death of King William IV in 1837 and ends ten years later with the Great Irish Potato Famine of 1846.
