A History of England, Volume 5 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): 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 fifth volume picks up with Sir Robert Peel’s administration and the year 1842; it closes with the budget panic in 1851-2 and the arguments between Whigs, Conservatives, and Peelites.
