About the author and work: Henry Hallam FRS FRSE FSA (1777 – 1859) was an English historian. Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, he practiced as a barrister on the Oxford circuit for some years before turning to history. His major works were View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages (1818), The Constitutional History of England (1827), and Introduction to the Literature of Europe, in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries (1837). Although he took no part in politics himself, he was well acquainted with the band of authors and politicians who led the Whig party. In an 1828 review of Constitutional History, Robert Southey claimed that the work was biased in favor of the Whigs. less
