1695 1^ed Queen Mary II England William III Protestant Burnet Glorious Revolution

A rare, important 17^th-century essay on the life and death of Queen Mary II of England by Gilbert Burnet. Mary II was the queen of England following the Glorious Revolution until her death of smallpox in 1694. This book provides a basic overview of Mary II’s reign, but Burnet wrote this work from a religious viewpoint, and makes mention of the Queen’s rule on the Bible and spreading the Gospel. There are also important implications on her charity and her care for Protestant churches, both foreign and domestic.

This first edition was first published in the year following the death of Mary II. 750
