Description:
1698 Glorious Revolution of 1688 1ed Compleat History of Europe England King JamesDavid Jones was a 17th-century English historian who is primarily remembered for describing two monumental European events – the 1688 Glorious Revolution and the Hanoverian Succession in 1714. The Glorious Revolution spurred his greatest work – "A Compleat History of Europe…from 1676 to 1697" – which would become a periodical because of its popularity in the 18th-century. According to Snyder, Jones' 1698 masterpiece was written

Rather than treating his material topically, he described his efforts properly as annals… This work, like all true historical works, is essentially a compilation drawn from contemporary tracts and books, monthlies, newspapers, and any source that came to hand.
