About This Item
1729 1ed Memoirs of Queen Anne of England Abel Boyer Parliament Politics Wars
Abel Boyer was a 17th-century English historian who is regularly remembered for his account of the life and reign of Queen Anne of England. It was in his 'History of Queen Anne' that he describes proceedings in British Parliament, royal speeches, as well as political debates. This 1729 'anonymous' edition is still credited to Boyer; however, according to the ESTC it was edited and collected by an author simply named Gibson. This work is without question one of the best 18th-century examples of biographies of Queen Anne, especially considering the inclusion of commentary on the political and diplomatic state of England from the Reformation to Queen Anne's death in 1714.
