A History of the Four Georges and William IV, Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Entertaining and insightful, this four-volume history will delight history buffs. Queen Anne died without an heir, bringing to the throne George I, of the German House of Hanover. Author Justin McCarthy examines the lives and reigns of the four Georges and William IV, whose death ended the personal union of Britain and Hanover. Volume two continues on in the year 1731 with discussions of the affairs of the Royal Family, rogues and vagabonds, the war with Spain, concluding with the death of George II in 1760, “under the protection of the stately form of Pitt.”
