Henry Hallam (1777–1859)

Hallam, Henry. An English historian; born at Windsor, July 9, 1777; died at Pickhurst, Kent, Jan. 21, 1859. In 1818 the appearance of ‘A View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages’ gave him an instant and enduring fame. Nine years later came the ‘Constitutional History of England,’ continuing the last chapter of his ‘Middle Ages’; and in 1837–39 the ‘Introduction to the Literature of Europe during the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Centuries.’ (See Critical and Biographical Introduction).
