Par le Dr John Lingard ; traduite de l'anglais par M. le Chevalier de Roujoux. Brunet III 1084. Lingard's History of England is an unusual but esteemed for its sagacity and dedication to research. Unusual in the regards that Lingard, a Catholic, wrote a History of England for Protestants but also to emphasize the disastrous effects of the Reformation while being temperate in his beliefs He was devoted to absolute accuracy and detail and the History is a groundbreaking work in its use of primary sources. Lingard made extensive use of Vatican archives and French, Italian, Spanish and English dispatches, document collections and state papers - the first British historian to do so. This edition continues up into the end of George III reign. William Cobbett used Lingard's history as an unbiased reference source for his own History of the Protestant Reformation in which he puts forward the argument that the reformation had disastrous consequences for the ordinary people of England.
