The History of England, First folio edition, a particularly imposing edition of Hume's famous history, the grandest yet published. "Hume triumphantly [demonstrated] that it was possible to write such history in a manner which combined good historical argument with good writing, and thereby appealed to an extensive readership" (ODNB). The History was first published in 1754-61 and continued by Smollett after his death.
