¶Guizot's immense history of the English revolution was first published as a series of biographical works in 25 volumes, 1823-25, collectively titled Collection des Mémoires relatifs à la Révolution d'Angleterre, accompagnés de notices et d'éclaircissements historiques. They were condensed, by Guizot himself, into a two-volume work, and published as Histoire de la Révolution d'Angleterre depuis l'avènement de Charles 1er, jusqu'à la restauration de Charles II, in 1826-27. Guizot returned to the subject many years later, with the publication of Études biographiques sur la Révolution d'Angleterre, 1851; a further condensed repackaging of the original work, and the edition that is here translated. The first English edition appeared in 1838 as The History of the English Revolution, from the accession of Charles I, translated by Louise Coutier and published in two volumes as part of Bogue's European Library. It was translated again in 1846, this time by William Hazlitt, again published by Bogue. This translation, by A.R. Scoble, was first published in 1851.
