Depuis le commencement de la Monarchie, jusqu'au Regne du Roi que est actuellement sur le Trône; avec des Anecdotes curieuses; une Description des principales Villes des trois Royaumes, & un Article à part sur l'établissement & le pouvoir du Parlement de la Grande Bretagne.

A historical-didactic work aimed at French-speaking audiences, this Abrégé Chronologique de l'Histoire d' Angleterre offers an accessible synthesis of English history from the beginnings of the monarchy to the reign of George II (1727–1760). The author, François-Joachin du Port du Tertre, explores not only political and dynastic events but also includes anecdotes and geographical descriptions of the principal cities of the three kingdoms—England, Scotland, and Ireland—providing a more comprehensive perspective than is typical in school textbooks. The second volume also includes a short essay devoted to the genesis, structure, and powers of the Parliament of Great Britain. ! Please note that this translated text was generated by Google. !
