`Hume`s History of Great Britain, published in the middle of the eighteenth century, remained the standard work for well over a century. It is a master-piece, even if its author is now better known for A Treatise of Human Nature. Grounded on an almost sociological view of the `progress of society`, Hume`s is perhaps the most European of all the classic narrative histories of Britain. Moreover it embraces far more than the merely political, and it was Adam Smith who pointed out that Hume was the first historian to deduce political effects from commercial and industrial causes.

This volume, covering the years 1603-49, was the first to be written and was published as a self-contained entity. Hume`s own view was that it was `by far the best`, because the subject admitted of `greater nicety of reasoning and more acute distinctions`.`
