Chapter five is concerned with Paul de Rapin de Thoyras’ Histoire d’Angleterre (1724–27), a work which drew on Parliamentarian and Whig ideas to provide a complete history of England from the Roman Invasion to the Glorious Revolution. The discussion opens by exploring the historiographical background to Rapin’s writing in Huguenot thought before moving on to look at his analysis of Tudor and Stuart history. Rapin, it is argued, adapted and developed earlier accounts in order to emphasise that a moderate form of Whig constitutionalism had a greater capacity to promote commerce and sound financial management than any absolutist alternative. The chapter concludes by examining Nicholas Tindal’s English translation of the Histoire, a rendering of the text which both popularised Rapin’s work and, through the use of paratextual material, questioned some of the historiographical assumptions on which it was based.
第五章是关于Paul de Rapin de Thoyras的《angleterre Histoire d’angleterre》(1724 - 1727),这本书借鉴了国会派和辉格派的思想,提供了从罗马入侵到光荣革命的完整的英国历史。讨论开始于探究拉宾在胡格诺派思想中写作的史学背景,然后继续看他对都铎王朝和斯图亚特王朝历史的分析。有人认为,Rapin改编和发展了早期的描述,以强调辉格党宪政的温和形式比任何专制主义的替代品都更有能力促进商业和健全的金融管理。本章最后考察了尼古拉斯·廷达尔(Nicholas Tindal)对《历史》的英译。廷达尔对《历史》的翻译不仅普及了拉宾的作品,而且通过使用超文本材料,对其所依据的一些史学假设提出了质疑。

The chronicler, Edmund Howes, the subject of chapter three, was interested in trade and, like his more illustrious contemporaries Francis Bacon (ch. 1) and William Camden (ch. 2), provided an analysis of the state's management of commercial affairs. Howes, however, had much closer connections with the workshops, warehouses and offices of the City than the other writers discussed in this book. And it was through describing the activities of individuals attached to these locales, the chapter argues, that he was able to develop a highly innovative account of English commercial history. In dealing with Howes' writing, the chapter begins by looking briefly at his life, before exploring the account of Jacobean immigration, manufacture and trading companies developed in the Annales (1615, 1632). The chapter's final section shows how Howes' work shaped the approach to Jacobean commerce of one of the most popular historical works of the seventeenth century: Richard Baker's Chronicle (1643).

Edmund Howes Richard Baker immigration manufacture trading companiesChapter four explores the influence of the English Civil War on approaches to economic history. From the 1640s onwards, the monarchical management of commerce and, even more importantly, finance became highly politicised and divisive issues, which received detailed commentary from historians. The main body of the chapter looks at how these ideas were dealt with by the Parliamentarian historians Anthony Weldon and Arthur Wilson, and the Royalist, William Sanderson. Despite their political differences, each of these writers, it will be shown, employed a moralistic analysis of James' financial management rooted in Livian ideas of exemplary virtue and honour. The final section of the discussion investigates how these ideas were developed in the 1690s by the historian and political economist Roger Coke.
