The original concept of this work by Hume contained only the history of the Stuarts and was first issued in 2 v. set under title: "The history of Great Britain, under the house of Stuart" (Edinburgh 1754?) It was later expanded by Hume and reissued by Millar to include the history of England beginning with the Anglo-Saxons.

Vols. 5 and 6 of this set were also previously issued as a 2 v. set with the same contents (from James I-James II) but now renumbered in this expanded set in their proper chronological order of history.

Includes bibliographical references and index (volume 6)
