Volume I. Introductory Survey by D W Hayton; The Commons Journal Database on CD-ROM (with introduction and guide): Volume II. Constituencies; Volume III. Members A-F; Volume IV. Members G-N; Volume V: Members O-Z.
A further large-scale contribution to the standard 'History of Parliament' series, covering 1690–1715.
'The wait was worthwhile, for not only does it magnificently fill the gap between the volumes for 1660-89 published in 1983, and those for 1715-54, which appeared as long ago as 1970; it also updates their historiographical context. This is particularly the case with the magisterial introductory survey written by David Hayton ... the availability of [the] electronic edition of the 'Journals' considerably enhances the value of these volumes.' Bill Speck, H-Net 'To any historian ... the prodigious achievement of the History of Parliament Trust, just published by CUP, is as an unmanned sweetshop to a hungry schoolboy ... Learned and exactingly edited, these volume are a work of remarkable scholarship, in the great British tradition.' Jeremy Musson, Country Life '... a vital work of reference for historians interested in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries ...'. History '... we are fortunate to have these five massive volumes, based on a prodigious amount of scholarly labour ...'. H. T. Dickinson, University of Edinburgh, Parliaments, Estates & Representation
