A Dictionary of Eighteenth-century World History by Jeremy Black

This dictionary - ranging from the wars of the 1690s to the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 - provides an introduction to 18th-century world history. Written by experts from many parts of the world, it is international in scope. Its shorter entries form a compendium of information and facts on the chief personalities, events, wars, political and social developments of the period. Its longer essays offer an interpretative view of the century, with up-to-date surveys of the latest historical thinking on controversial topics. Entries include advice on further reading, and a system of cross references provides guidance on the depth and breadth of information covered.
