What it is about
A detached part of the first volume of Hume's History of England, in an edition that splits it into fragments.
Context and history
The title says so, but it bears underlining: this is a piece, not a work. The catalogue also holds the whole first volume from another edition, and the two overlap. This happens because digital sources divided the text in different ways. Hume's History is a continuous work running from the Roman invasion to 1688; anyone looking for something particular would do better to start from the complete-volume entry, and to cite by reign and chapter.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.

That princess had discovered great prudence in her conduct during the reign of her sister; and as men were sensible of the imminent danger to which she was every moment expo
