"A History of England, Period III. Constitutional Monarchy" by J. Franck Bright is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work covers a significant period in English history, specifically from 1689 to 1837, detailing the transition to constitutional monarchy following the Glorious Revolution. The book likely discusses the political, social, and economic shifts that defined this era, focusing on key figures such as William and Mary, and the broader implications for governance and civil rights. At the start of the book, the author introduces the context of William and Mary's ascension to the throne following the deposition of James II. This portion emphasizes the Declaration of Right and outlines the imperative reforms sought during this revolutionary period. Bright explores the immediate challenges faced by William, including his personal unpopularity and the initial entrenchment of factional politics. The opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of the complexities of governance and the interplay of political ideologies during this critical juncture in English history.
