| Summary | "Storia d'Inghilterra, vol 2" by Baron Thomas Babington Macaulay is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume likely focuses on the political and social climate of England during the late 17th century, particularly under the reign of King James II, detailing the tensions surrounding his governance and the opposition he faced. The text appears to delve into themes of monarchy and religion, exploring the consequences of political decisions and the interplay of different factions in society. The opening of this historical work introduces the character of King James II, highlighting his rise to power and the height of his authority by the autumn of 1685. It discusses his ambitions in foreign and domestic politics, his attempts to strengthen the royal army, and the implications of his Catholic faith amid a predominantly Protestant nation. Macaulay outlines the mounting discontent against James's rule, emphasizing his controversial actions, including violations of laws and the potential ramifications of his policies on the Parliament and the broader public, ultimately setting the stage for the political unrest that characterized his reign.
