Drawing on research, this volume covers the history of England between the accession of George II and the loss of the American colonies. It reveals simmering discontent in which evangelical enthusiasm clashed with scientific rationalism, aristocratic government with popular insubordination, industrial and imperial expansion with plebian poverty.
