5. Hallam, Henry, Constitutional History of England, 3 vols., New York, 1870. 



6. Kennett, Bishop, A Complete History of England, London, 1706. 



Bishop Kennett quotes many interesting sources which are valuable for the 

 period of the Revolution. Often the historian finds mention of sources in his book 

 which have been lost for many years. 



7. Klopp, Onno, Der Fall des Hauses Stuart (und die Succession des Hauses 



Hanover in Grosz-Britannien und Ireland im Zusammenhange der europai- 

 schen Angelegenheiten von 1666-1714), 14 vols., Wien, 1876. 

 This work is considered "by far the most elaborate survey and vindication as 

 a whole of the European policy of William III." A. W. Ward, in his biography of 

 William III in the Dictionary of National Biography, calls Klopp's work monu- 

 mental. Certainly, it is a well-established work. The sources are of the best. 

 Klopp had at his disposal the correspondence of the representatives of the Pope, 

 Louis the Fourteenth, the Emperor, and the King of Spain at the court of James II 

 as well as the 'Berichten' of the imperial representative at the Hague and the vast 

 Dutch political correspondence. The careful exposition and the critical attitude 

 of the author give this work a high rank in the historical literature for the period.
