History of the Regency and Reign of King George the Fourth, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore how the Regency and reign of George IV shaped a nation under strain, in Cobbett's sharp, provocative history.
This volume surveys the long arc of political change from the late Georgian era through the regency to the king’s death. It combines narrative detail with strong opinions about law, governance, and public life, offering a pointed look at how power and policy affected everyday people. The book foregrounds debates over punishment, policing, and constitutional limits, and it paints a critical portrait of the era’s leaders and institutions.
- See how new laws and police methods altered civil rights and local control
- Understand the changing role of parliament, the regency, and political factions
- Follow the tension between taxation, public debt, and national policy
- Read a contemporaneous, often acerbic assessment of the period’s events and figures
Ideal for readers of historical commentary on Britain’s 18th–19th century transitions and for those who value a provocative, opinionated take on political history.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the Regency and Reign of George IV, including the return of Napoleon from Elba and the war that culminated in the Battle of Waterloo. The author delves into the motives behind the British government's actions during this period, uncovering the self-serving reasons for their opposition to Napoleon and their ultimate goal of suppressing democratic movements at home. The author explores the consequences of the war, including the significant financial burden imposed on the British people and the erosion of civil liberties in the name of national security. This insightful analysis sheds new light on the complex events of this historical era and their impact on the development of British society.
