""Remarks on the History of England: From the Minutes of Humphry Oldcastle"" is a historical work written by Henry St. John Bolingbroke in 1747. The book is based on the notes and observations of Humphry Oldcastle, a fictional character invented by Bolingbroke. The book provides a critical analysis of the history of England from the reign of Henry VII to the time of Bolingbroke's writing. Bolingbroke's main argument in the book is that the history of England is marked by a struggle between the powers of the monarchy and those of Parliament. He argues that the power of the monarchy has been gradually eroded over time, and that this erosion has been driven by the increasing power of Parliament. Bolingbroke also argues that the English constitution is unique in its balance of power, and that this balance has been maintained through a delicate system of checks and balances.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different period of English history. Bolingbroke provides a detailed analysis of the key events and figures of each period, and offers his own interpretation of their significance. He also includes a number of historical anecdotes and personal observations, which add depth and color to his narrative.Overall, ""Remarks on the History of England"" is a thoughtful and insightful work of historical analysis. It offers a unique perspective on the history of England, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of the English constitution and the balance of power between the monarchy and Parliament.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
