About this listen

 David Hume stands as a towering figure in Western philosophy, celebrated for his profound insights and influential ideas. However, it was his historical writings that secured his financial success and popularity. His monumental work, The History of England from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688, published between 1754 and 1764, captivated audiences and generated unprecedented earnings, making him not just independent but wealthy. Spanning six volumes, this historical masterpiece remains in print today and continues to shape our understanding of English history. Often compared to Thomas Babington Macaulay, Humes narrative covers the pivotal reigns from Elizabeth I to James I in this Volume 1D, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Englands past.
